I largely consider the existence of evil to be dependent upon free will, because surely a good God would not do evil. But, it is a consequence of our free will. For choosing God to be significant, there must be another option that we could have chosen. Yet, not all 'evil' can be attributed to humans. What about hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters?
Now, while this is closely related to suffering, that is not what I want to address. I believe suffering exists in the world because evil exists in the world. The root is evil, and I want to know why, when free will isn't involved, does evil exist?
Surely, this isn't a very well developed theory because I just now considered it. But, it's something to ponder.
