IN ADDITION TO the trinity of pain, suffering, and evil, add another major obstacle to unhesitating trust in the merciful love of God: the wretched witness of hard-hat Christians with their execrable images of a malevolent God. They speak in giddy or sepulchral tones of a deity who, with malicious glee, dispatches to a fiery lake ninety percent of the people he created in his image and likeness.
