Jesus Raises the Undead
... the Bible is an all-too-human document ... he embraced Christianity as a beautiful myth, in effect taking what he needed from it and leaving the rest. He practiced this soft Christianity for years, but abandoned it too. What ultimately led him to leave the church was a more profound issue: the problem of evil, what theologians call theodicy. In his 2008 book "God's Problem," Ehrman explains that he could no longer believe in an all-knowing and all-powerful God in a world in which an innocent child dies of hunger every five seconds.
