The Problem of Evil

One day's good can be the next's evil. And vice versa.

No need to get somewhat defensive, I just offered the true explanation for the classification of evil, and how it doesn't debunk god's existance whatsoever.. If you think the info I gave in my last post is wrong though, feel free to explain how.

I was trying to look at the issue objectively and not input my own personal opinions in the original post. The reason why I was somewhat defensive when it comes to religion in particular is because I would consider myself fairly well educated when it comes to religions - whether they be western or eastern.

Anyway, no hard feelings.

In an effort to continue on the discussion, you seem to believe in an all powerful all good god, how do you explain the amount of natural suffering that we as humans endure?
