Of course god is not guilty for evil and suffering because this god does not exist.

Although that has not stopped believers in god from inflicting evil and suffering throughout the ages.

If doing the required work to write this essay makes you suffer, is that God's fault?

Seriously though, here's my answer.

There is no evidence that God exists. The burden of proof is on believers. Not the other way around.

I just have. Attributing evil to God is predicated upon you demonstrating that God exists in the first place.

In four words you have just demonstrated why atheism is on the rise in more developed countries.

And there being no evidence of their existence.
God gave us free will. We are the problem and we need to work out how to stop this pain and suffering.

That makes sense. But from the perspective of a believer you would say...?

God has been providing and healing body mind and spirit.

Man is ignorant of this, and carries on his own selfish, self-centred ways until it goes pear-shaped, then he blames God.

Come and see people that aren't doing this, they get different results.

If god does exist, then it's likely she's testing us to see which ones are worthy of the good afterlife e.g heaven
If god does not exist, then it's probably the same old concept of if there is a reaction there must be an equal or opposite reaction.

What is the context of this essay? What subject/module are you doing?

You need to start with the assumption that a god exists to write this, which is already shaky ground for an essay.
You also need to decide which god you will assume exists to be able to discuss it for how the god is meant to operate, it’s abilities and attributes.

Sounds like a bad topic to write about really, were you made to or given options?

Ta;lking about theodicies, existence of god and we were forced to do it

Thank You all for the help, I have finiished the assignment / essay but guess what... she hasnt marked it smh
If by evil you mean breaking the ten commandments then consider various other codes of conduct, for example at work. If one chooses to break a code then is it the employer's fault the code was broken.

"And there you go. You heard her, Iri. Our Heroic Spirit thinks a battlefield to be something better than Hell. What a joke. It's Hell itself. There is no hope on a battlefield. There is nothing but unspeakable despair. Just a crime we call victory, paid for by the pain of the defeated. But humanity has never recognized this truth. And the reason is that, in every era, a dazzling hero has blinded the people with their legends, and kept them from seeing the evil of bloodshed. True human nature has not advanced a step beyond the Stone Age." - Kiritsugu Emiya
