The problem of evil turns natural evil into God’s moral evil, but if natural evil is God’s moral evil, which is privation/absence of good (good: how things are supposed to be), then there is no real good (being that always is/does good), thus no real evil (no shade without sun). But, if there is real evil, there must be real good, and thus we must consider that natural evil is /not/ God’s moral evil—we are not in a position to say the ultimate outcome/purpose of any action (no excuse against doing the best we can with the light we’ve been given). Love requires non-love choice as a real possibility (not that we must choose non-love, only that we can)—thus, pain cannot be removed without removing love. He bled to prove it.
You’re so vain you probably think this thread is about you.
No, seriously.
