But I hear an author interview on the TV in another room and it prompts this quick entry.

If you listen to author interviews who tell you what they want for their characters, how they demand that they change between the beginning and the end, it really gives one an interesting perspective for thinking about the problem of evil as it gets batted around between theologians and atheologians.

I have no idea if it can or how it could be incorporated into an argument one way or the other.  I’m just saying it gives one a different attitudinal stance toward the problem.
