Well, one thing that first comes to mind when thinking about the problem of evil in the world is this: Instead of worrying why some deity seemingly allows such acts to continue, maybe we - viz. humanity - should instead focus on why we allow such acts to continue.
This of course is only a starting point, but when seeing evil in the world, I always have to question ourselves and our acts. We have to live in this world, and even if our acts are guided by an ideal of an afterlife, we still have to make our way first through this one. So, how we act morally right now is pretty important, in my mind.
