Soul-Making Theodicy

Soul-Making Theodicy is a philosophical response to the Problem of Evil, which questions why a good God allows suffering. It suggests that life's challenges and hardships are essential for spiritual growth and character development. Just as we develop strengths through adversity, our souls are shaped and refined through experiences of pain and struggle. This process helps us cultivate virtues like compassion, resilience, and empathy. Thus, suffering has a purpose: it contributes to our moral and spiritual evolution, guiding us toward a deeper understanding of love and the divine, ultimately making us better individuals.
