Life has its many ups and downs. There are some weeks when there are more downs than ups.

Critics of theism and Christianity claim not only that God is dead but that He never truly existed in the first place. For if the God of Christianity truly exists, then why is there so much pain and suffering in the world? Atheists and Christians alike call this apparent conundrum; “The Problem of Evil.” The logical problem of evil presents as a question: “If the God of Christianity is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and omnibenevolent (all-caring), then why is there evil in the world?” Did God create the evil that befalls man? If He, in fact, did not create evil, then where did it come from? Is God’s “good” creation not as good as advertised? Couldn’t God have created a world without evil? Or maybe one with less evil? The list of questions goes on and on. For the critic, the fact that there is evil and suffering in the world proves not only that God is dead but that He never existed in the first place. On the other hand, for the Christian, the existence of God and the existence of evil and suffering in the world are compatible realities.
