That's obviously a problem. So, if evil and pain are just an illusion, then God isn't evil. That's the way out of the 'trap'. The intellectual problems with this are staggering. Because, first of all, pantheism assumes an eternal universe, but the data brought to us by science contradicts that idea harshly. In addition, pantheism's view of pain as an illusion requires the denial of, all of our senses. All the evidence that one feels, the pain and experiences with ones senses, is not real to the Pantheist since evil is an illusion.
