William Lane Craig debates Walter Sinnott-Armstrong: evil, suffering and God | WINTERY KNIGHT – by the way, I noticed in William Lane Craig’s opening statement, he gives this very memorable quote: One reason that the problem of suffering seems so puzzling is that people naturally tend to assume that if God exists, then His purpose for human life is happiness in this life. God’s role is to provide a comfortable environment for His human pets. But on the Christian view, this is false. We are not God’s pets, and the goal of human life is not happiness per se, but the knowledge of God – which in the end will bring true and everlasting human fulfillment. Much of the suffering in life may be utterly pointless with respect to the goal of producing human happiness; but it may not be pointless with respect to producing a deeper knowledge of God.: https://winteryknight.com/2025/10/08/william-lane-craig-debates-walter-sinnott-armstrong-evil-suffering-and-god-14/

Two Men Are Seated on a Plane… (Ray Comfort/Kirk Cameron) – YouTube – Modern evangelism had to find another reason for sinners to respond to the gospel and the issue that modern evangelism chose was the issue of life enhancement. The gospel degenerated into Jesus Christ will give you peace, joy, love, fulfillment, and lasting happiness. I love this analogy, it is so true.: https://youtu.be/xqgWEf4xVOg?si=6XxDXjsF2x_T54Q0&t=38
