    relatively recent “God is omniscient, omnipotent, and all-loving” thing

    So recent that checks notes voltaire wrote an entire book lampooning the idea. And the lambasting of the idea of god who would allow people to suffer is best done by christians themselves: the idea of such a god, a “moral monster,” was argued against very well in against calvinism by roger olson.

      I used the phrase “relatively recent” on purpose. It’s not a new idea, but it also isn’t ancient.
