Satire Und Theology is back on Facebook

The URL now matches the website name, and I am therefore able to once again post this website on my Facebook Business Page.

Facebook unfairly banned my previous URL, with no dialogue with me on the issue, as I contacted them several times, since March.

Erlandson explains that many theodicy are fatally flawed since they are too focused on the idea of God creating a world for the best possible state of human beings. Erlandson (1991: 1). 

The ideas of Erlandson are in line with sovereignty theodicy, which places greater emphasis on God’s perfect and holy plans in willingly allowing the problem of evil to exist in creation, than does free will theodicy. Erlandson (1991: 1).

Practical and empirical theology is a complement to my theoretical work on theodicy, and not a replacement for it.
