Hit upon a suite of answers that fit with notions of a loving and all-powerful God. Sometimes these questions are acute and personal (e.g., personal trauma). Sometimes the questions are historical (e.g., the Holocaust). Sometimes existential (e.g., pain in the human condition). As the first round of theodicy questions I call these initial questions FIRST-ORDER COMPLAINT. Whenever I've seen these questions raised in a church or classroom you tend to get a standard, well-worn suite of responses. Call these FIRST-ORDER RESPONSES. 1. Free will: Lots of human pain is self-inflicted, God isn't to blame. 2. The Fall: After Eden, the earth is cursed. Thus, the Katri.
