All boards: Philosophy of religion
The problem of evil raises issues for a nonbeliever in various ways. For instance, the constancy of evil leads a non-believer to question how so many people continue to justify their belief in God. It is difficult for a religious believer to satisfactorily explain why an omnipotent, omniscient and morally perfect God with all the power there is to possess does not abolish all evil and suffering. As evil does not exist for the non-believer, the hardest challenge for them is to explain why it occurs, not least because for them the solution must rely on reason alone.
