However, it is also worthy to attend to the different <i>modes</i> of the problem of evil. Here, I illustrate how we can distinguish three modes of the problem of evil: curiosity, decision, and challenge. In other words, we can understand the relationship between God and the evils of the world in three ways: as a curiosity question, a decision question, and a challenge question. After introducing these three modes, I use several examples to show that attending to them is useful and illuminating for understanding and evaluating positions on the problem of evil. By considering these modes, we can better understand familiar distinctions, articulate differences among responses to the problem of evil more clearly, and evaluate arguments more comprehensively.</span></span></span></span></span> Deontological Problem of Evil, Ethics and the Problem of Evil, Skeptical Theism, Greater-Good Theodicy, Atheism 361 372 http://jpt.daneshafarand.org/browse.php?a_code=A-10-240-16&slc_lang=fa&sid=6 S.M.
