God gave us all free will, we are told. But we are also told He is infinitely loving and caring. So why is it that one person's evil choice is allowed to impact on the life of another innocent?
I'm thinking about that young girl just found guilty of the murder of a harmless old lady. Her choice was to commit an evil act, but why does her victim, and her victim's family have to suffer?
Why are children, surely the most innocent, allowed to suffer at the hands of child molesters?
If God is truly caring, wouldn't He create a set of circumstances where one person's evil choice does not impact on the innocent or undeserving?
Really, what I'm asking is, why is there evil?.Evil is not necessary.There can be free will without evil. Presumably, there is free will in Heaven; yet there's no evil there.So, if God created everything, then he created evil. Why? If He loves us all so much, why?
