Round 1
noahmatixlilleyAGAINST
Common theodicies we read propose ideals that are inapplicable to non-human animal suffering. Theodicies of the like of free will, greater goods, soul building and eternal life are inadequate in supposing justification for why the world would be this way under God as opposed to naturalist perspectives.

Imagine a neighborhood where a local church quietly runs a food pantry and people show up to help. That kind of built-in community and moral push seems like a net good to me, though I get it is not always clean. I am not sure how to argue it better.
Round 2
TechOracleFOR
A surprising number of food pantries and shelters are run out of religious buildings. The other side makes a fair point that suffering is hard to explain, and I am not sure how to answer that. But my gut says all that quiet local help adds up.
