PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
...."First: the best answer that most Christian churches have given regarding the problem of evil, as in “why is it that an all-power God would allow such tragedies, sicknesses, and outright evil to exist if He is powerful enough to eradicate them?”, is that God has some hidden purpose behind it. We especially ask this question when innocent young children, or cherish loved ones, die/struggle with health issues, or when mass disasters take place.
From the pulpit, we are told that this personal, relational, loving God could do something about evil, but just decides not to for His own unknown reasons. Christians then either say that, “I don’t know why God allowed this thing to happen, but God had a reason for this”, or ultra-conservatives will cite that since we are all sinners, and so utterly disgusting in God’s sight, that God has the right to enact judgement on us at any time
To both of these responses, I—and possibly folks like Neil deGrasse Tyson as well—would say “Really? Is that the best explanation you have to offer?”
When we start attributing to an Almighty God responsibility for acts we would never ourselves do to our own children, I’m sorry, but most of us with a brain and a little bit of compassion totally check-out. You can quote the Isaiah 55:8-9 all you want to us, but you have lost us before you even got there."...

How can we have free will if we do not have a choice between good and evil? How can we have free will if we could not chose or reject God. Science is based on the idea that the laws of nature are not arbitrary and capricious. That ales some faith.

SGT Charlie Lee, evil exists to give us a choice. We do not not know why things happen BUT, we do know Jesus shared the things that strike us as most difficult. Jesus had people he loved die. Jesus was betrayed by a close friend. Jesus was innocent and railroaded into a death sentence that was horrible. Jesus told us, if the master suffered in this fashion the servant will suffer the same.
