This sends us back to the problem that you cant assert with any confidence
that God truly is good; you can only say that you deeply believe that hes
good based on that small portion of Him that you believe yourself to have
perceived.

Did you think the usual proof was to trite?
The Problem of Evil
A good God would destroy evil.
|
Ultimately evil will be destroyed. Is this a temporal issue? God allows evil
only because God respects our free will. People choose evil.
|
An all powerful God could destroy evil.
|
Yes.
|
Evil exists and is not destroyed.
|
Again, because God respects free will.

No.
