The argument from evil basically states that God would not allow gratuitous evil, that is, evil that is not otherwise necessary. She has clearly elucidated the defense that she does not believe God has allowed unnecessary suffering, that he has a reason for its necessity which is consistent with a greater good. She has also said that she doesn't know what that reason is.
Nowhere in this do I see any special pleading. Could you be a little more precise in specifying your objection?
In other words, if such a judgement of gratuitous versus necessary evil can never be considered objectively morally acceptable here amongst us humans, is it not special pleading to give God allowance to do it for reason unknowable to us?
