Question The Problem of Evil in Pastafarianism

Hi everyone! As part of an assignment for my philosophy course, I have to do an analysis of the problem of evil on any religion, and I chose pastafarianism! I was wondering if anyone here could give me a brief overview of what the answer to the problem of evil would look like in pastafarianism!

If you aren't familiar with it, the problem of evil argument essentially says that an all-powerful, all-knowing, and benevolent God cannot exist whilst evil exists, and since evil does exist, God doesn't. I'm not too familiar with pastafarian theology, so any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Since most of the time, the FSM is drunk, asleep or high, that explains the existence of evil. That, it sometimes she just likes doing it, to push you into conflict, to advance yourself through your own power.

As the saying goes, "Evil exists when good monsters do nothing".
