I think the “problem is evil” is very tough—and the happy talk or attempting to blame the victim does not resolve it.

The problem of evil is hard, because this life is hard, full of both joy and unbearable pain and suffering. Jesus’ answer to the problem is just wait. He will conquer evil and will reign on earth dealing with suffering once and for all. He was either insane or he was who He claimed to be and has the power to make His promises come true. I’m counting on the latter. One thing I find interesting is that those who indict God with the problem of evil fail to apply the same standard to themselves. Although we humans are not omnipotent, we nonetheless have some limited power to fight evil. If we are not using our finite power to it’s fullest extent to thwart evil are we not guilty of our own personal problem of evil?
