Theodicy
Well this is one of the classic religious subjects of study, its more or less a question about the morality of god. The classic question, of this classic subject is a presented in the form of a paradox:
if
A) God is good
B) God is all powerful
and
C) Evil is real and exists
why does god let evil continue to exists? An unspoken assumption is that good is diametrically opposed to evil.
Personally the way I have dealt with it is to reject assumption A. I actually rejected it before I stumbled across this particular problem, when I read the book of job.
