Three Options

When faced with man's inhumanity to man you are left with three options:

1. God does NOT exist
2. Man does NOT exist
3. God became man - bearing the inhumanity

The first option is atheism. The second is pantheism. The third is Christianity. The first denies a good God. The second denies evil. The third embraces both.

You forgot to mention the option "Neither God nor man exists and it doesn't matter" which is Nihilism.

Tommy -

You're absolutely right...

Here's some other ones I thought of:

"We can't know if God or man or evil exists" - Agnosticism

"God exists but he's still in puberty and doing his best to stop evil "- Panentheism

"gods exist and you better not mess with them or you'll get more evil" - Polytheism

"evil exists and God is evil" - Satanism

"God and Satan are equally strong and when Satan gets the upper hand in this eternal struggle you have evil." -Dualism
