Personally, I like Plantinga's free will defence. But then again, how do you explain natural evil? Fallen angels seem to fall to Occam's razor.

You should hear it in person some time, but for now, a keyed version will have to do. It goes like this: "I am the greatest guitarist to ever live. Don't ask me to play a tune to prove it, though, I simply demand that you have faith that I am simply unreal at the guitar. Oh, and by the way, you'll suffer eternally if you don't believe me, but I still love you more than is possible." I have been mastering this awesome impression of God.

Homer's heros have a totally sucky time, and you don't find them expecting Zeus to be benign ... remember, folks: The Odyssey is not theodicy.

I love when religious people try to puzzle out faith logically. They either need to use logic and become atheist or just go ahead and have faith in something both unseen and irrational.
