The problem of pain

[FinalEnigma]

I'm sure everyone is familiar with the problem of pain; There is indisputably evil in the world. If God is all powerful and benevolent then why is the evil there? This is of course a simple phrasing of it, but I don't feel the need to do into great detail as we are most likely all familiar with it. My question here is the following:

How does Judaism answer the problem of pain?

PS. If you are a christian, answering would be meaningless.

If you wish to complain about being on topic, it might help if your post was actually on topic itself. Further, if you so much feel that your conversation with Cnorman should be via PMs, then why are you posting it here in public?

I notice that your post isn't on topic either. Perhaps rather than displaying your (egoic) superiority here, you should have PMed me too...

So may we please be done with the rather futile attempts to be clever

I see that you aren't above your own 'futile' baiting attempts.
I guess that you aren't the poster boy for perfect behavior either!
hahaha I just love it!
Go ahead, last word is your's...

Are we done yet? are you going to address my questions I keep posting that remain unanswered or continue with the endless off topic ramblings? If you prefer to ramble, please don't do it in my thread, it wastes my time, and while you are free to waste yours I'd thank you not to do it in my thread.

I hope that you feel better now. Get it all off your chest?
You have contributed nothing to the topic with your personal remarks here (but ugliness). In public, I repeat, is nowhere that anyone wants to hear about it. Keep it PM or keep it to yourself (as far as I am concerned). This is a place of ideas and critical thought, not your personal problems. Rather than citing my words with which you find fault and offer a logical and rational refutal, you personally attack me (ad hom). How unusual, considering your ordinarily well composed and non emotional rational conversations. Have I hurt your feelings somehow? I really don't need another stalker with a wounded ego.
Just move on, please. It'll pass.
Thank you
Good day

A repetition of the baseless charge of personal attack; not a single word of response to anything I actually wrote; and more taunting and flamebait.

Nothing here to respond to.

With due respect, I am very interested in the subject titled "The Problem of pain." Any chance someone would take it back onto that topic?

You know, for someone so quick to chide others for their "egoic dismissiveness," you are also remarkably quick to disdainfully sneer and scoff at the points of view of others - and to bristle and stamp off in high dudgeon when someone takes exception to your own.

Your agenda's showing, Charles.
Exactly what did your 'response' to my post contribute to the discussion? Have I upset your feelings? Was there something in the post specifically to which you wish to respond/argue or is it a general feeling of upset and you feel the need for a 'cheap' ad hom?? If there is something specific to which you'd like to refer, relating to the topic, please, feel free, but your tone says that there is more going on then simple intellectual discussion.
If you have a personal problem with me (or whatever 'tone' you might perceive), why don't you just man up and PM me rather than doing your laundry in public.
See, dear, no bristling or stomping and no dudgeons. Bye bye.

good day

The kind of comments being made here (both these and those that follow) are not becoming of either of you. I suggest you both take a breath, and try to relax.
FinalEnigma seems to be trying desperately to get this back on topic, but can't manage that alone. Let's all get back to the original question.
