 Problem of evil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the philosophy of religion and theology, the problem of evil is the problem of reconciling the existence of evil or suffering in the world with the existence of an omniscient, omnipotent, omnibenevolent god.
The problem of evil arises from the supposition that a perfectly good god would not have created a world containing evil, or would not permit its continued existence in the world, and that an omniscient and omnipotent god should be able to arrange the world according to his intentions.
There are a great number of variants of the problem of evil, including inductive variants, logical variants, evidential variants, soteriological variants, arguments from natural law, pain and pleasure, and so on.

 Theodicy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maltheism asserts that the "problem of evil" is not a problem at all—the initial question has a simple answer, there is no way that a benevolent omnipotent God would allow evil in the world.
Evil is the consequence of God permitting humans to have free will, or God may intend evil and suffering as a test for humanity.
To them, the problem of evil is not a problem at all, and is neatly resolved by acknowledging that an omnipotent benevolent God would not create a world in which there was evil, concluding that God, assuming he exists, is either not omnipotent, not benevolent, or perhaps both.

 Ahimsa as Knife: Cutting 21st Century Hinduism by Raman Khanna on Sulekha   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Hinduism does not definitively answer this conflict, although it creates a framework for analysis and development that is more thoughtful than a blind adherence to either idolatry or aniconism.
Religions being complicated, Hindus are justified in judging in an itemized manner: yes to filial piety, no to religious war, yes to the loving treatment of one's community, no to the injunctions urging rapine against one's enemies, etc. Hindus seem to have lost track of this in their rush to be tolerant.
Hinduism is not a geographic accident; it is a larger worldview that has been shared by innumerable spiritual systems over the last five thousand years.

 Tragedy of a woman who has become Muslim, but she has two children and their father is Hindu - Islam Q&A   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The problem is that his parents object to their marraige because the mother feels that the lady in question is a convert and that converts don't make good muslims.
His parents are a problem on the one hand and the ex husband not wanting the children to embrace Islam is another problem.
The fact that the Hindu father is evil is sufficient reason for him not to make an open display of his calling the children to Islam, if that could lead to this kaafir taking the children away by going to the kaafir courts.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Miracle
In referring the miracle to God as its efficient cause the answer is given to the objection that the miracle is unnatural, i.e., an uncaused event without meaning or place in nature.
The answer is, first that Spinoza's conception of God and nature is false and, secondly, that in fact miracles are not a violation of nature.
These miracles, summarized in the answer of Jesus to the messengers of John (Matt., xi 5), are explained by the Fathers of the Church with reference to the ills of the soul (ST III:44).

 Religions FAQ
Religions have provided answers to questions that technology and the scientific method are just now able to address, and therefore have provided some measure of comfort to its practitioners.
Like most of the other answers state, no religion is "right." Many of the major organized religions have a lot of the same tenets (be kind, charitable, don't steal, etc.) However, if you were more looking for the religion that's "right" for you there are numerous ways to determine this.
Most of the other answers are right, but I would like to add that many religions are formed by power hungry people that enslave the masses with threats of never-ending torment if they don't follow their teachings.
