"God has morally sufficient reasons for permitting evil"

[Esquilax]

Well you have to remember, apologists have to make some case for why the almighty would allow for evil to exist through sin. The morally sufficient reason they nearly always propose is libertarian free will via Alvin Plantinga's Free will Defense. I think that does defeat the logical problem of evil (potentially), although some recent developments by other philosophers challenge this.

There's a simple response to the free will defense, and that's that an omnipotent god could easily stop the effects of evil actions from taking effect: a murderer's bullet just misses, a rapist is struck with impotency so long as the woman he's with isn't consenting, etc etc. Free will isn't predicated on the idea that your every action will succeed if you choose to do it, just that you can choose to do it.

And hell, with a god this apparently committed to keeping himself hidden, I doubt we'd ever be fully trained out of that behavior by constant failure anyway, since without a clear cause, maybe the next time could be the time an evil action actually succeeds.
