Jumped in late, but here's my 2 cents.
If God is all loving, and good, then why does evil even exist at all?
God Himself sends evil into the world, so how can He not be present when evil is around?
To me, what we percieve as evil is only for one purpose. To help us find God. Evil may in fact be good, if it is for that purpose. Remeber, His ways are not our ways.
I say God is there all the time, evil, no evil. Love Him in the good times and the bad. to rejoice in our tribulations, because God is showing us something.
