Feb 26 at 17:10 comment added Chris Sunami @NotThatGuy - I was a bit rushed writing this, and rereading it, it was confusing as written. I added a citation, and tried to explain it a bit more. However, none of these positions can be conveyed as anything more than an inaccurate gloss in the length of a SE answer. At best, I can point people to the primary sources.

Feb 23 at 22:38 comment added NotThatGuy The closest match on the "Cartesian approach" I could find is Cartesianism, but that is "an ontological dualism of two finite substances, mind (spirit or soul) and matter", which doesn't seem to have much to do with "why would God torture you". It would help to provide some links that expand on these topics. Do you mean Cartesian doubt? If so, what's wrong with "because he's evil" as an answer? Why does it make more sense for God to be good, given all our suffering?
