This text reflects on a seminar organized by the Evangelical Academy in the Rhineland concerning the question of whether the world's suffering is willed by God. The author examines biblical depictions of injustice and violence in both the Old and New Testaments while critically addressing the concept of theodicy. From a biological perspective, sensitivity to pain is presented as a necessary evolutionary trait that enables survival and inspires the development of skills to avoid suffering. While suffering may gain deeper meaning on a spiritual or psychological level, the author expresses skepticism toward traditional theodicy. He argues that attempting to justify God's actions or permissions is inappropriate, as it often deflects from human responsibility and guilt. Rather than questioning why a higher power allowed specific horrors to occur, the focus should remain on the human role in allowing injustice. Ultimately, the text questions the underlying motivations of such theological inquiries, suggesting that they may be more flawed than simply accepting suffering as a natural fact of existence or fate.
