Think about the paradox which Epicurus offers. Of course God can free us from evil. However God CREATED "evil" for the grand scheme of life. So if you eliminated evil, say bye to Hitler, Martin Luther King Jr., Stalin, Malcolm X, Jesus, Siddartha all the great people which walked this Earth. If you throw reincarnation into mthe mix then all evil is eliminated from any blame which we can placed on God.

Science may have found a cure for most evils; but it has found no remedy for the worst of them all -- the apathy of human beings. Hellen Keller
"Since boredom advances and boredom is the root of all evil, no wonder, then, that the world goes backwards, that evil spreads. This can be traced back to the very beginning of the world. The gods were bored; therefore they created human beings." Soren Kiekegaard
Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods. Albert Einstein

In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too; to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and the future, which is precisely the present moment; to toe that line. Henry David Thoreau
All this worldly wisdom was once the amiable heresy of some wise man. Henry David Thoreau

I learned that spirituality was here before religion, and that people, who did not understand either, turned spirituality into religion, and turned the religions agains each other..."

MALCOM X:
" Having complete control over Africa, the colonial powers of Europe projected the image of Africa negatively. They always project Africa in a negative light: jungle, savages, cannibals, nothing civilized. Why then naturally it was so negative that it was negative to you and me, and you and I began to hate it. We didn't want anybody calling us Africans. In hating Africa and in hating the Africans, we ended up hating ourselves, without even realizing it. Because you can't hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree. You can't hate your origin and not end up hating yourself. You can't hate Africa and not hate yourself.
The American Negro doesn't realize the advancement and the high state of his own culture that he was living in before he was kidnapped and brought to this country by the white man. He knows nothing about that. He knows nothing about the ancient Egyptian civilization on the African continent, or the ancient civilization of Mali on the African continent, Civilizations that were highly developed and produced scientists. Timbuktu, the center of the Mali Empire, was the center of learning at a time when people up in Europe didn't even know what a book was. He doesn't know this, because he hasn't been taught. And because he is ignorant of his own past, when you mention Africa to him, why he thinks you're talking about a jungle "
