This seems to be a very shallow analysis of the question of theodicy. Modern theology isn't that ignorant of suffering and its origin as you might imagine. I'm not a religious person, but I see how people see meaning in their belief systems. I don't see any underlying beliefs in your comment that have a positive attitude, it has a rather negative focus (without trying to neglect it). I just happen to wonder what your goals are. What are you fighting for with this statement, what is the underlying belief system that leads you to this statement?

> This seems to be a very shallow analysis of the question of theodicy. It's about as deep as is necessary. The answer is really that simple, people just don't like it. > Modern theology isn't that ignorant of suffering and its origin as you might imagine. Theology is (and has been for many centuries) expending a lot of effort to handwaving away the answer people don't like, that much is true.
