Why Does Evil Exist? The question that crippled the Western religious world.
No other question in the Western world has had such immense influence in turning people away from God and religion. Pouria will speak to this unanswered question, its roots, and impacts and will offer an alternative worldview.
Join us on Sunday, July 31st for "Why Does Evil Exist? The question that crippled the Western religious world." with Pouria Montazeri.
All are welcome and we'll have a special deep dive with Pouri after our community lunch.
