This is going to be short. Even though Bart Ehrman's God's Problem is going into an area of the Bible that is my favorite the ideas of Chapter 6 -- Does Suffering Make Sense? The Books of Job and Ecclesiastes, I have very little agreement with with Bart' conclusions or observations here.
1. I agree that even the Bible presents that sometimes suffering just is and we have to deal with it. Those of a more fatalistic/deterministic tradition might disagree, but i don't as an open theist.
2. Ecclesiastes is both Bart and my favorite book of the Bible.
3. That part of the Meaning of life is to enjoy it. Eccl. 5:18-19; 8:15 Cherish life and enjoy it.
You can tell with that the Disagreement post tomorrow is going to be long.
