a little more info...

I am in the middle of reading a philosophy book (written by a
Christian author). Although I don't agree with his entire reasoning and he assumes quite a bit, his overall thesis seems sound. While I have been reading this book, I have gained a curiosity for what other people think on the following topic....

What do you believe about good and evil?

I will post more of my thoughts later and what this book says, but I would like to here from y'all first. The following questions may help you answer more fully....

Is there such a thing as free will or are our actions the result of circumstance?

If there is such a thing as good and evil, what are the consequences of that?

What determines good and evil?

These are just some starter questions. I understand that this post will fire some people up, but the purpose is to learn how other people think and view the world around them. I ask that this be a friendly environment so I set some ground rules....

The name of the book is "The Problem of Evil" by Charles Colson. If anyone else is reading the book and would like to discuss it, e-mail me and we can talk about it.
