Two months ago I released a video called 'Could God Be Evil?' (   • Could God Be Evil?  ) in which I discussed a strange and unique angle to the problem of evil for religion. If we would reject the existence of an all-evil god due to the pervasiveness of good in the world, why can't we also reject the existence of an all-good god due to the pervasiveness of evil?

Dr. Max Baker-Hytch is a tutor in philosophy at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University. He co-authored a paper on the so-called 'evil god challenge', objecting to it in various ways. So, he and I had this discussion, to see if the evil god challenge as I originally presented it can hold up.
