God has nothing to do with the evil in the world.

[Jimmy]

The bad in the world is because people decide to do bad things and things like disease is nature not evil.

 

[SalixIncendium]

If God created people, why did he equip them with the potential to do bad things?

Maybe both darkness and light are necessary for continued existence.

Maybe both darkness and light are necessary for continued existence.

Perhaps a new type of reality, a new form of existence, would happen if either good or evil came to exist absent of it's counterpart.

Not in my view. But I respect the idea.

There's nothing in this reality that generates good or evil. Good and evil are merely human social constructs that don't exist outside of human perception.

God created nature which as is is good. God didn't create potentials.

I see nature as indifferent, neither good nor evil. If there is a god, then it would stand to reason that god is equally indifferent.

I disagree.

Everything is a potentiality.

The sun is good-Gives life

Hyenas eating lion cub, while intense, still good- survival

 

[Jimmy]

I disagree.

Everything is a potentiality.

God is separate from man and even nature.

 

[The Hammer]

God is separate from man and even nature.

I disagree... All is One.

Good implies intent. The sun has one job and it does it well. What use does the sun have for intent?

Yeah, but the sun seems pretty indifferent when it's 115° and you're baking in the heat. Even worse for those in the desert and running out of water.

God for me is infinite space. I cant quite pinpoint what god is. He's just out of reach. Beyond my understanding. So all is one? Definitely not.

I believe good can be intentless. Inherently good if u will

Either we and nature are separate from space, or you just contradicted yourself.

Tis a bit sweaty. Evil? Nah

 

[SalixIncendium]

Heat stroke is good?

I believe infinite space is a touch above nature.
