Society has mellowed over the centuries, and god has fallen in line.

God cannot destroy evil, not at this point, because he would be taking away our free will. Still, he has done this in the past has he not? What was he doing when he flooded the world for 40 days and 40 nights? And what was he doing when he changed the people's language during the tower of babble. Assuming I spelled that right lol. He did cast Satin from heaven did he not? he is kind and loving but as any parent knows sometimes you must punish as well and he does. WE are all punished for our wrong doings in some way or another. consequences are always there.

In Dr. Robert Morey’s book The New Atheism and the Erosion of Freedom, he talks with an atheist about this issue. The atheist assumes that everything is relative, and there are no absolutes (he is absolutely sure of that). Morey replies that the first thing an atheist must do is prove the existence of evil. By what process can an atheist identify evil? He must have a universal absolute to do so. Without an absolute reference point for "good" (which only God can provide), no one can identify what is good or evil. Thus without the existence of God, there is no "evil" or "good" in an absolute sense. Everything is relative. The problem of evil does not negate the existence of God. It actually requires it.
Many assume that because evil still exists today, God has not dealt with it. How can atheists assume that God has not already solved the problem of evil in such a way that neither His goodness nor omnipotence is limited? On what grounds do they limit what God can and cannot do to solve the problem? God has already solved the problem of evil. And He did it in a way in which He did not contradict His nature or the nature of man. We assume God will solve the problem of evil in one single act. But why can’t He deal with evil in a progressive way? Can’t He deal with it throughout time as we know it, and then bring it to the climax on the Day of Judgment?
God sent His Son to die on the cross in order to solve the problem of evil. Christ atoned for evil and secured the eventual removal of all evil from the earth. One day evil will be quarantined in one spot called "hell." Then there will be a perfect world devoid of all evil. If God declared that all evil would, at this moment, cease to exist, you and I and all of humanity would go up in a puff of smoke. Divine judgment demands that sin be punished.

i believe that my God is loving and he will destroy evil eventually, but he is giving people more of a chance to come back to him.

God has eternity to deal with evil. We may not see it now, but it doesn't mean the evil won't be paying...

Jesus came to earth as a Lamb.
When He comes next time, He will come as Judge.
Does that tell you anything? Doesn't matter what
people think, this is from the Bible and that's all
that matters.

I don't know about all other religions but my God is loving and merciful, but if you cross Him he will kick your butt. It's just like a Father/child relationship. How a Father dotes on his child.

We're all sent here (or chose to be here) to learn...if we didn't face any evil, what would we really learn? We let our children make choices to learn from their mistakes.
