I HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE PROBLEM OF EVIL

I have problem with the problem of evil, do you? Actually, I don’t have problem with not understanding everything there is to explain about the existence of evil. I don’t question why evil is everywhere. I certainly would not question God. Some I understand, with the little that I know, concluded that because there is evil therefore God doesn't really exist. Their ‘logical” argument goes like this: If God is love. We see evil in this world. How can a loving God allow such evil in the world? But the atheists forgot to ask this of themselves: If everyone in the world is an atheist (believing sincerely that there is no God; material world is all there is and we are a product of evolution) would there still be evil? Would men be any better morally today - no violence, no crime, no natural disasters, etc.?

So I don’t have problem with the existence of evil. I have problem with the problem of evil because it is the direct result of SIN. Sin is not just about doing the wrong thing but in rebellion with his Creator and choosing to replace God with himself. I have problem with the problem of evil in people who thought it is their right to choose how they would live without taking responsibility of what might happen to people around them. I have problem with the problem of evil when men take hold of power over another by hook or by crook (sounds familiar, right?) and therefore violating human rights and democracy. They would also try to justify themselves with nice sounding political rhetoric. Clowning? “Sandiwara”? Monkeying around? Maybe that’s why the country that they control would become a banana republic pretty soon!

I have problem with the problem of evil in men who are full of greed because they have power and authority (most of the time illegitimately). where their billions were stashed away in Cayman Islands and yet won’t call it quit, foolishly thinking that all the illegal wealth that they gain at the expense of their fellow countrymen could go with them to the grave and beyond!

Yes, I have problem with the problem of evil!
