Are the abused, raped, tortured and murdered victims of child molesters a price worth paying for whatever plans God supposedly has for us? Is their pain and suffering a good thing? If it was your child, would you feel happy and grateful that his or her terror and anguish had made a positive contribution to human development?
I think theists have an insoluble dilemma: If they believe in a benevolent deity then they have to regard child molestation as a bad thing because it is clearly evil, but also a good thing because it must necessarily be something that god wants to happen (otherwise it simply wouldn't happen).
