On the Problem of Evil as it Relates to Survival

Those who doubt the existence of God may want to spend more time considering the existence of intelligent “evil”. If there is no God, then I am “on my own”. But if there is an intelligent evil force, then I am in the greatest jeopardy. I am not suggesting another round in the debate over the classic problem of evil as it relates to theism. I am suggesting a full-on engagement with the ravages of evil. This is not about explanation; this is about survival.
