(1) Answer the question: what two properties is the Abrahamic God typically believed to have, such that the problem of suffering is generated?
(2) Answer the question: why doesn’t Antony accept The Logical Argument from Suffering? (2.1) Construct a plausible example that provides justification for why she doesn’t accept it.
(3) Reconstruct Antony’s Evidential Argument from Suffering.
(4) Answer the following question: How does Antony argue for the claim that there is probably no good reason why a morally perfect and omnipotent God would allow the suffering we see? In other words, articulate why Antony thinks we should believe that there is probably no good reason.
(5) Critique Antony’s argument. Remember: doing so means addressing the argument “head on,” so to speak. You must attempt to claim that the truth of the conclusion of the argument doesn’t follow even if all the premises are true. Or you must claim that one of the premises of the argument is false or otherwise shouldn’t be accepted and provide reason for thinking so.
(6) Respond to the critique on Antony’s behalf. What might she say in response to your critique?
