ReplyTo a comment on The Pit’s Bottom by Dovina.

Well, Mr. Everlasting Godstopper, that’s a hoot of a name. What I am trying to convey in the part before “But:” is what a lot of theology tries to convey: a wonderful, loving God, an evil sinful world, and a means of reconciling the two. But it always fails when they find cancer cells among God’s creations. The second part says to forget all that and simply accept the universe as is—the atheist message. I call it The Pit’s Bottom because until a theist like me accepts the creation at its worst and attributes the bottom of the pit to God, she’s done for.
