“CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD”
- Dr. Paul Viminitz -
Philosophy, U of Lethbridge
ABSTRACT
I happen to be an atheist, but the widow whose mite pays my salary is not. I work for her too. Accordingly:
By a confessional political theodicy is meant an answer, on behalf of God, for the evil we do and suffer in His name as members of collectives. In this paper I propose a theodicy for the Palestinian issue, a theodicy to which all three Peoples of the Book — Jews, Christians, and Moslems — could confess were they to attend to the Scripture they honour in common.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
