Natural versus moral evil[edit] Main article: Moral evil Jean Jacques Rousseau responded to Voltaire's criticism of the optimists by pointing out that the value judgement required in order to declare the 1755 Lisbon earthquake a natural evil ignored the fact that the human endeavour of the construction and organization of the city of Lisbon was also to blame for the horrors recounted as they had contributed to the level of suffering. However, human actions exacerbate the evil effects of natural disasters. Both natural and moral evil are a challenge to religious believers.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9652.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9652.txt
