C) The problem of evil
The most burned out of all topics, it has long been resolved by the existence of beings with free choices. It can be obvious in this "fallen" world and might not appear in higher realms as far as we know.
Evil is a value assigned to something/one based on cultural/social/sexual bias. What’s evil for you is not evil for me. Certainly there is good and bad, but even this is subject to bias in a lot of cases.
Like, we can all agree the lead poisoning in Flint, MI water system is bad, but is it evil? And while we can say Hitler was evil, there are people who believe he was not because he was acting in accordance with a value system approved within German society at the time.
