Raedwulf said, in part:

4. God, while all good and all powerful, is not attentive--he just doesn't pay attention to us and our actions, so evil in effect goes on behind his back.

Doesn't work, Uncle DaveO.

I didn't say that's what I believed, did I? I reported it as one of the "solutions" I had heard.

As a matter of fact, I don't believe in any of the "solutions" I put forward, because I don't believe in a god, much less God. I was just dealing with the dilemma the first poster put up for us, which is a classic.
