If God is...(all-loving, all-knowing, all-powerful and the Creator and Sustainer), then why does evil exist (why do bad things happen to good people, why do good things happen to bad people, etc.)? This philosophical question seems to be old as time itself. In Western cultures, free will is a common response (bad things happen because you use and exercise your free will in harmful and destructive ways). In Eastern cultures, karma is understood as explaining evil (what comes around goes around, every action has an endless ripple effect). Again, these are the dominant cultural, religious and historical responses to the existence of evil (this is not to say they are the only responses though of course). What are some of the drawbacks, flaws, holes, inconsistencies and disadvantages involved in both of these major reactions to evil?
