Hi, Bailey.

If you cannot support your assertion that evil is not being dealt with by God...
I think he did deal with it in the OP:
GIAm, OP, writes:
Looking about the world today many see evil happening everywhere. Children starving as the highest evil, all of us sinning as a lower evil.
The part about "sinning" is obviously subjective and difficult to support without defining it. But, if GIAm is including "children starving" as evil, it's fairly apparent that God is either not dealing with this issue by either miraculous or mundane means, or is dealing with it in an incompetent or sadistic way.
Since GIAm appears to be assuming an omnipotent God who has the power to save these children from starving, we have to grant to him that this God is, indeed, withholding his services from these poor children.
Of course, the God alternative I proposed here is an example of your objection, so I'm mostly on your side here.

Perhaps we are going about this all the wrong way: maybe we should be asking GIAm to just give us the answer. He should know it, because he is the "Greatest I Am," after all.
Moral: don't ridicule God if your screen name is "God." Unless, of course, you are able to ascertain that nobody you blog with is observant enough to make the obvious joke.
