Has anyone of you guys heard of Christopher Martin? I was doing some web searching and found out that he has written essays's on all of the five ways. Is he a reliable source for information on them, and are his articles really for begininers if they are reliable?

Hey everyone,
My theory of knowledge is class is about to discuss religion and one of the videos we are going to watch is Stephen Fry's vidoe where he argues about evil. I want to be able to refute his claims during the class, and I want to see if my reason why the problem of evil fails under classical theism:
"Under classical theism God is not a moral agent. This is because under classical theism He is is pure actuality or in other words He has no potentials that need to be realized. If God were a moral agent that would imply that God only has the potential to be good, and this can only be realized with good actions, like how you and I cannot be coherently judged as good until we perform a good action, which shows we have a potential to be good that needs to be realized. But under classical theism this makes no sense as God has no potentials to be realized, and since being a moral agent involves the potentials that need to be realized, then God in this sense cannot be seen as a moral agent, and trying to use the problem of evil in this way against him is incoherent. Another reason for this is that under classical theism God does not participate in goodness like you and I do, but He is Goodness itself. In other words He is the highest standard of goodness and moral standards. If this is the case than God can not be a moral agent as being a moral agent would imply that God can be judged and is subordinate to a moral standard that is higher than Himself. But if God is goodness itself and thus the highest moral standard of goodness than this means that there is no higher standard to judge Him by as He is that highest standard. This also means that He is not subordinate to any moral standard including His own as He is that standard, which consequently means there is no moral standard or law for Him to follow, and this makes him by default not a moral agent. Trying to argue against God using the problem of evil that Stephen Fry uses is nonsensical and intellectually bank

You guys are right. We should not focus on people who don't want to learn in the 1st place. But my main issue is unfortunatelty these guys are spreading more and more misinformation about Classical Theism with their videos and the general public is sadly okay with this as Dawkins books showed. A friend of mine even said before she read it that Dawkins is one of the greatest philosophers( I think every philosopher from Socrates to Antony Flew just felt disgraced when she said that, and just typing it makes me feel unclean and in need of a shower).

Thanks for your replies, but this classical theism philosophy is really intellectually challenging. I think my problem is that I'm trying to approach these ideas from a modern viewpoint. I'm currently reading principles of natural theology, but the language is a bit hard to grasp. Afterwords I think I'm gonna start reading more about the metaphysics behind Aquinas, Avicenna, and other classical theist.
