Abstract

What do you tell a sick child dealing with the Epicurean “problem of evil?” In this work of philosophical short story fiction, a mother takes her child to Sunday church. Her child is sick and his hair is slowly falling out. She reassures him God still wants him to come to church (even without hair), but a mean-spirited parishioner tells the boy, “Boys who wear hats in church go to hell.” The boy comes home and asks his mother how God can be both all powerful, all knowing, and all good, and yet he can still be sick. Furthermore, he tells his mother, he doesn’t want to go to church again.
