They say that we human beings may become better behaved if we face some troubles and tough decisions every now and again, but Hick assumes that God needed to choose an inadequate amount of evil, or none. Madden and Hare claim that yes, the evil present can cause a greater good, but it can also do the opposite- they say that it can also cause indignation. This can cause someone, or a group of people to lash out and attack the world and become very angry people and cause damage that they may or may not be able to undo. They argue that the benefits of evil would be offset greatly at the effects of the indiscriminate behavior of the angry humans. This is not the point of the greater good, is it? A world without evil seems illogical at this point. Not only do we need evil to happen to help certain job fields prosper, but having the choice to be malicious or destructive helps us exercise our right to free will. At some point, even Hitler and Stalin thought they were doing the right thing, trying to minimalize certain types of people by doing whatever kind of evil they could think of, but now, we see it wasn’t good at all, it was evil.

And because to some, evil equals pain, human reproduction would halt and nothing would ever happen. Charles Darwin claimed that because God is known as all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful that evil shouldn’t exist, God didn’t because evil does exist. Is God allowing evil to occur justified? It seems certainly right to say it is because, if you think about it from different perspectives, say, from a parent’s view. You would want the best for your children, but you would also want them to learn from their mistakes. What are mistakes, but evil? Your kid gets into a fist fight in high school and deserves it- gets punched in the face and breaks some bones. This is a version of moral evil, causing pain on oneself and unto others, but what wouldn’t happen if this never occurred? It is good for humans to go through good and bad experiences to say they have lived through it. Also, we found it impossible to be free
