“Which Way Church” explores the problem of evil in relation to the concept of a morally perfect God. It discusses the Epicurean Paradox, questioning why evil exists if God is good, and suggests that evil is not a created substance but a negation of God's morally perfect creation. The world of the spirit is not a negation of the real, physical world, spiritual reality is not supernatural, but as a true and significant reality created by God. A reality devoid of divine precepts, is a humanity left to live by laws determined by those in power, making good and evil subjective and defined by law. Ultimately, the essay emphasizes the choice between living in a world defined by God's truth or one ruled under the authority of shifting human laws and the authority of the human lawgiver.
