Moral Evil

Moral evil refers to the suffering and harm that results from human actions, such as violence, deceit, or injustice. In the context of the Problem of Evil, it raises questions about the existence of a benevolent and omnipotent God, as these actions contribute to the world's suffering. Theodicy attempts to explain why a just God allows moral evil to exist, often suggesting that human free will is essential for true goodness and that suffering can lead to personal growth or greater goods. Thus, moral evil is a key challenge in understanding the nature of divinity and human responsibility.
