There is no 'Problem of Evil'. Good is what We do, Evil is what They do. Anyone who does something We don't like will be Othered with a label such as 'racist' or 'liberal', depending upon who We are. In turn they Other us because in their eyes they are We and we are They.

As regards God, a being who is by nature supreme, all-knowing and all-powerful and answers only to their own will is, like Nietzsches' Overman, beyond good and evil. Or to put it another way, God is ineffable because they don't give an eff about Good and Evil, they just want us to realise ourselves and become like them -something which nobody can do for anybody else. I think it safe to say that if you don't bother God, they won't bother you!
