As I was reading Catch
22 by Joseph Heller, I came across an interesting situation in the book the
protagonist yossarian and Ms. Scheisskopf are arguing about the nature of the
god that they do not believe in. The god that Ms. Scheisskof does not believe
in is loving, jus and omniscient. While the god that yossarian doesn’t believe
in is either sadistic or is a bumbling fool, and that a truly good and
omniscient god would not have included phlegm and tooth decay in his creation.
and he cannot believe in a god that would create things like pain. The loss of
faith is a major theme in the novel and in the end even the chaplain begins to
question his faith.
