Is There a Difference Between Suffering and Evil?
The problem of evil is not a great terminology, so I sometimes call it the problem of suffering. There might be suffering that's due to natural pain, but then there's also suffering that is a result of bad moral choices. In the logical version, insofar as that's an internal problem, we are simply asserting that there is evil and suffering in the world. The Christian could actually admit that there is a logical incompatibility between the existence of God and pointlessEvil.
