I'm aware you've probably been asked this a thousand times, but what of the problem of evil? Do you contend that God is benevolent? Do you contend that God has power over all? Then why would he let evil occur? Do you believe he knows all? Then why does he not stop things before they happen? Of the many Christians of whom I've asked, they often reply with the idea that taking away all evil, he would also take away free will. But are there not people who lead perfectly good lives? Did they not have free will as well? Why let evil become an option? Why place the fruit on the tree if you don't want it taken? And what about evil of nature, natural disasters? It's simply logic, if God is benovolent and he is omniscient and omnipotent and bad things still happen, God does not exist, God is not omniscient, or God is not benevolent.

Is there a contradiction?
