SHAKESPEARE

I recently was surprised to learn that Shakespeare was Christian. Hamlet and 2 characters that were named "friar" were Catholic characters in his plays. Scholars agree that Shakespeare was Anglican (Church of England) and there is some dispute that he was secretly also a practicing Catholic. Also Newton was Christian in his time. Einstein was Jewish and later was a theist with no particular religious affiliation. With all these personal facts don't you think that there might be something to theism.........that humankind might be spiritual on an individual, person-by-person basis. That God is near in every human...though I do not understand why there is so much evil in the World.......and so much inequity.........There was a national story yesterday about a family of 4, this family was homeless living in an old van in Orange County very near here........a 41 year old man (of Southeast Asian descent) his 20 year old wife and their 2 year old daughter and infant daughter........all killed as they slept in a parking lot by carbon monoxide poisoning coming from the exhaust from their van.........It is insane that this happened.......Whatever did the likes of Shakespeare and Einstein and Newton have to say about the problem of evil?
