Keelie asked:

How is the Problem of Evil overcome by the existence of an Afterlife?

============

Quite simply, provided the afterlife is run properly. Any evil you do in this world is infinitely paid for in
the next. Any evil done to you in this world is negated by an infinite good in the next. In these two
ways, the balance of good and evil is always skewed towards greater good, the world as a whole is
as good as it could be, and there is no problem of evil.
