Dialogue of Good, Evil, and the Existence of God by John Perry
In John Perry's book Dialogue on Good, Evil and the Existence of God, he used three characters in the dialogue in order to clarify the positions of the three characters (Weirob, Miller, and Cohen), the arguments they provide in support their positions and the 'end state' of their discussion. This allows us to examine our understanding of the good, evil and the existence of God. Perry shows a clear position of Weirob, Miller, and Cohen. Weirob is a philosopher who is not a Christian. She does not believe God exist. She only believe evil exist without God. She thinks if God really exists in this world, then God is a monster (evil) because God lets her…show more content…
Or perhaps there is, but he is ignorant, or weak, or mean' (p.4) She thinks God must not care her because God lets her suffered. She provides a main argument to support her position which is 'the existence of suffering is inconsistent with the existence of the all-perfect God.' (p.17) She thinks there is evil but without God. Miller wants to convince Weirob to believe the possibility of God exists. His argument is that this world is the creation of an all-perfect Being, even if we admit that there is suffering in it. He claims that the existence of suffering is consistent with the existence of the all-perfect God. Their arguments are opposed to each other. So Miller has to convince Weirob that Christian God he believe in--- all perfect, omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent -- could possibly exist, even given as unimportant a bit of suffering as her flu. Miller first raises some examples to proof his argument is possible but doesn't have to explain to Weirob what plan God has in mind. The example is about a painting can have ugly parts but been more beautiful or deep because of them or a dull chapter in an interesting novel. But Weirob does not think her suffering with her flu compares with those examples at all. She claims that she is not a picture of a sniveling, dripping, suffering human but a sniveling dripping, suffering human. This convinces us to think that Weirob wants Miller to give her a more detail of example which is related to her.

Synopsis
The author revisits the cast of characters of his well-known Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality in this lively and absorbing dialogue on good, evil, and the existence of God. Does evil in the world present a problem to those who believe in the perfection of God? What is the nature of human evil? Can fully rational actions be intentionally evil? Gretchen Weirob and her friends tackle these questions and more in a dialogue that exemplifies the subtleties and intricacies of philosophical reflection. Once again, Perry's ability to get to the heart of matters combines with his mastery of the dialogue form.
Excerpt
Gretchen Weirob, Sam Miller, and Dave Cohen are my inventions. I think of them as having a life beyond these Dialogues, however, that explains how they came to be written. When Weirob, Miller, and Cohen had philosophical conversations, Miller kept fairly detailed notes. He wrote these notes up in a rather dry fashion, which focused on the arguments. Dave Cohen gave me a lot of information about how the conversations actually went, and of course, I have my own memories of Gretchen. These are the sources I have used to reconstruct this dialogue and its counterpart, A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality.
Given Sam's methodical ways, it is surprising that his notes on these conversations were so scattered about. But as it turned out, the notes were inserted in the copies of books they had discussed in the conversations. The notes for the other Dialogue were found in Sam's copy of Locke Essay, which I borrowed from his library not long after he died. I had no idea that Sam had saved notes of other conversations until a couple of years ago, when the task of sorting all of his books fell to me. The notes for this conversation were found in his copy of Augustine Confessions.
