Let's answer two questions first:
1, why does man do evil?
2, why does man allow evil to thrive?

Answering questions with questions doesn't move this anywhere.

it's not like He just "lets" evil happen, atimes He wants to get us in check. Or should I say our faith. it's like a little nudge, letting us know dat d devil is still out there, working sleeplessly(if dats a word).

Another point is dat evil happen sometimes for the glory of His name. Meaning, wen He intervenes in a situaton, it is really a wonder to everyone (the world) and also to us.

Men!!! I sound like a pastoress,

but seriously that's what i believe shaa.

That's the only real way you can learn. No one is supposed to "teach" you anything. Questions challenge you to think and attempt to discover the answer that is already within you.

There is no such thing as evil. There is only the absence of good.

So, he does bad shit...like say,a hurricane...and then rescues the people out of the hurricane just to prove he's God? Brilliant!

I do understand what you are saying and I agree

I ask these questions to challenge myself.HOWEVER, in this case, I'm not challenging myself, I'm challenging YOU. DO you wish to dig into your mind and soul and give an answer or u wish to chicken out?

If u don't know what evil is, you shouldn't even try asking this question.

Stop asking questions and give me answers people...even if it's by ur own definition or ur own example or concept

I dont need one answer...there is none...to each his own...that's wut is killing religion...the whole group way of thinking.

superego · 03-03-2007, 02:13 PM

Well I guess from one of ur responses that u regard a hurricane as evil.

Ok let me try and address this a bit as best I can, so help me God.

There is True Evil, and there is Common Evil.

True Evil, is the only real evil, and that is anything that stops you from entering heaven as its final effect.
While common evil are the things that make us feel sad, like hurricanes, death, pain, hunger, poverty, which are actually not evil, but like harmless drills in a Super mario computer game(I stopped at Super mario, dont know modern games, pardon me).

So your hurricane isnt evil, it's just activity.

The only thing that we may justly refer to as true evil, being the only thing that can actually hinder us from Heaven/Gods kingdom, is our hearts, desires and actions. So for each of us the only center of true evil and source of it is our own selfs and our thoughts and actions. Be it in sweet summer or in a catastrophic hurricane, rescued or not. The devil is in us/us/through us.....and each of us only can be evil to himself.
