There is an interesting debate starting on BeliefNet on the problem of evil between Bart Ehrman and N.T. Wright, both powerhouses in theological and NT studies.
Link is here:

One of the things that constantly comes to mind, is this. IF there is no God, then the evils of nature that Bart Ehrman describes (tsunamis, mudslides, et. al.) simply aren't evil. There is no longer any ground to say, "this is not how God ought to operate!" They are just random acts of atoms and physics.
He might as well argue "there is no such thing as logic! Here, I'll prove it to you."
There must be a God to complain to in order to give meaning to the very question he raises.
