      Abrahamic is a large percentage, so yeah. The concept of a deity or deities that have some evil component to them isn’t just from that line of religion evolution. At least the gods of Greek, Roman, Norse, etc. openly had human flaws that contributed, and didn’t fall into the “mysterious ways” excuse.

      Most people on Lemmy seem to be English speaking, and most English speakers are primarily exposed to abrahamic religions, so yeah that tracks

        Could you elaborate? I do not understand what you mean. Is it because they are referring to the abrahamic religions as simply abrahamic?

      The “problem of evil” has been a topic of serious scholarship for millenia. No “theodicy” makes logical sense, but more than just teenagers examine it.
