As a theist, the problem of evil is what i struggle with the most
As a theist there are many things aspects of religion or faith that makes me believe in the existence of a God. However, recently, as I keep reading and learning, I found myself really struggling with the existence of evil. I might be wrong but that is for me the strongest argument held by atheists.
I find that the free will argument addresses only partially the reason behind evil. People who suffer immensely in this life, or parents who see their babies developing diseases or losing their kids…etc this has nothing to do with free will. So right now my position is kind of similar to what some atheists say about the creation of the universe or life when they say we don’t if there is a god a fine tuner behind it. I say maybe as a human being there is a fair explanation or wisdom, of the suffering and evil in life but we don’t know it yet.
