The first way that I look at this problem of evil is form the vantage point of it being a “logical” problem this means that the theist must look at the several beliefs that he or she may hold and be able to clarify and if possible come to reconciliation between these different beliefs. This is the initial method in which I use to understand the nature of the problem of evil. If one can some how surrender one of the propositions that comprise the problem, this problem can be solved.
