My response is simply "THAT'S LIFE"

Life is random, good things happen and shit things happen. C'est la vie

There is no such thing as good and evil in the context being used; which suggests some cosmic, eternal struggle. We know this to be nonsensical and without basis or evidence.

Good and evil are religious terms that suggest humans have "purpose" outside of what they determine for themselves. Evolution and extinction illustrate that man has no more purpose than brontosaurus.

The Earth and cosmos do not cease upon the absence of man.

Suffering is a subjective term to each individual and animal. It is simply a part of the living experience.

A fourth response:

There’s no such thing as evil. What we perceive as evil is just the workings of nature. Things happen for reasons, but those reasons might be over our heads. The life or death of a single organism is of little significance.

There is no afterlife. Time is an illusion. We are in heaven right now. The sense of existence as a separate individual in a body is an illusion. We are not our bodies. Our true essence in Ultimate Reality is conscious awareness itself.

In my opinion, evil is solely human activity, suffering is just part of nature and life on planet earth.

Best try to avoid it.

When I first saw the headline, I comically thought "I usually tell my ex I'll see her in court." But the. I saw you had a deeper intent.

The one thing I do to help prevent the spread of evil is speak up when I can to put a stop to it. I teach my child what the evil is and advise him to act in positive ways. There's always going to be some sort of suffering, treat everyone respectfully but stand up for whats truely right.

John Keats or John Hick? (Perhaps both...)

And there are those who say you're being punished for your own misdeeds . And there are those who say all bad is due to Satan .

Of the three, I would choose the second response. However, I would not say that suffering has a purpose. It's just part of life. Humans suffer. Other animals suffer. Without suffering, would we recognize joy?

Make sure I am not contributing to it.

The third response.
There’s nothing noble/divine about suffering, nothing especially glorious about dying for a cause, except the comfort it gives survivors. ‘God’ doesn’t test us or ‘have a plan’ because there IS no god. That’s all a delusion.
