Point 3 is false. It is an enraging suggestion, I realize. Of course there is evil in the world. Surely, if there is anything we can be certain of, it is that. No doubt you want to grab me roughly by the arm and drag me to the most impoverished and war-torn regions of the earth, to the worst slums and ghettoes, to the cancer wards and prisons and cemeteries and shout, “Here, Leon! Here is evil!” To which I would have to respond, “No. Here is suffering.”
