The problem with theodicy is that it is illogical. Once again, you can have a logical God, or an apathetic, hands-off creator. Not both. Not only is theodicy illogical, but it breaks the laws of physics..and if you think breaking regular laws are bad, baby you ain't seen nothing!
In this world is cause and effect. If I fall off a mountain, then I die. I do not suddenly fly away. Why? Because of science, because of gravity. Gravity does not pick and choose, it always does the same thing everytime. Trust me, I do not know everything about gravity, but I do know this.
If the world is overpopulated, people run out of food and famine reusults. Food does not magically appear. (Yes, yes, that story in Matthew, but that was to prove a point. It was a one time thing) For God to magically appear every single time would be illogical.
If you get stabbed, the knife will not pass through harmlessly (believe me) it will wound and/or kill. why? Because metal through flesh wounds/kills.
All those people who think that any version of God should bend the rules for them is self-centered and naive. (miracles aside)
Life is a bitch,get over it. Life plays by the same rules every time. People may not, but life does.
