Conspiracies and Truth

Identify and describe your conspiracy – do not
assume we know what it is. Please be sure you are not duplicating
another conspiracy. I would recommend that you post to the Conspiracy
forum and reserve your conspiracy as soon as you can.
Would
Clifford support the belief in this conspiracy as justified? Be sure
you explain why using Clifford’s theory. Remember, this is in place of a
quiz or an essay so you need to show me that you read and understood
the Clifford article.
Would James
support the belief in this conspiracy as justified? You must tell me
what type of option this conspiracy is and you must analyze using the
characteristics of the option as part of your response.
What do you think? Does the use of Clifford or James give you the answer you think makes sense? Why or why not?

The Problem of Evil

Write a 2-3 page essay on the following prompt:
The “problem of evil” is a name for the philosophical problem of why there would be evil in a world that a good God made and over which he has power. Can he not eliminate it? If he can, why is it here? Both of our readings suggest that the afterlife is in some way necessary to explain the existence of evil, but they do so in different ways.
-John Hick argues that the evils of this world are here to improve our souls, to make us better people in the face of them. Courage is impossible without danger, so the world must have danger. The purpose of the afterlife is to allow that process of “soul-making” to finish.
-Dante’s picture of hell is a portrayal of the idea that evil is explained by punishment. The role of the afterlife is to distribute justice: evil for evil, good for good.
Explain each point of view as best you can, and then tell me which makes more sense to you, and why? Would it be better for the afterlife to be a place of perfection for all people, even the “failed” ones in this life, as John Hick believes, or would it be better for the afterlife to be a place of justice, where the evil are punished and the good rewarded? Can you draw a clear line between the good and the evil among us? Which picture makes more sense to you?
