The Problem of Evil

 
'Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?'
 
-Epicurus

Frank Zappa on Crossfire

About three minutes into this, you're going to think to yourself, this argument is just dumb.  But at about the half-way point, Frank Zappa is going to say something that will probably make your ears perk up.

"To the Victor Goes the Mourning"

 
The more prohibitions, the poorer we become.
The sharper the weapons, the more troubled the nation.
The more clever we are, the stranger things become.
The more laws, the more crooks.

A Luther Quote for the Catholics

 

"What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good and for the Christian church...a lie out of necessity, a useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies would not be against God, he would accept them."

     - Martin Luther

University of Kansas: Humanities Lecture Series

 
A series of lectures (unfortunately for real player) can be found here;
 
I've listened to the following two; both are very good.  Kenneth Miller gives a good lesson in evolution, as well as, interestingly enough, some of the better aspects of Catholic theology. 
 
Os Guinness does a good job convincing the listener that perhaps 'thinking Christian' is not an oxymoron after all.  
 
Kenneth Miller, Professor of Biology, Brown University
“God, Darwin, and Design: Creationism’s Second Coming"
 
Os Guinness, Theologian & Author; Co-Founder of The Trinity Forum
"A World Safe for Diversity: Living with our Deepest Differences in an Age of Exploding Pluralism"
 
There are also lectures by Richard Dawkins and Judge John E. Jones that I haven't listened to yet.  There is also a lecture by Michael Behe for some reason.  He certainly seems the dim bulb in the group.
