The Problem of Evil and Suffering

• How could an all-good, all-powerful, God allow so much evil and suffering?
• Don't evil and suffering exclude the possibility of God (...or at least, make his existence highly unlikely)?
• For me, it's not a logical problem, it's a personal reality... how could God let me suffer so much?

The problem of evil and suffering is perhaps the most serious challenge to the existence of a loving God, and serious challenges require serious thinking and serious answers. Below (scroll down), a brief sketch of the topic is followed by more extensive discussions.

If you'd rather pick another topic for consideration, here are some other options:
