Matthew 16:26 For What is a man profited,if he shall gain the whole world,and lose his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?\n\nProverbs 15:3 The eyes of the LORD are in every place,beholding the evil and the good\n\nWe have a little of both everyday in my opinion,so we have to coexist until things change we just have to do our part in this life with the help of God.\nHave a Blessed Life

One can deduce that such places exists by logic.\nConsider two twin brothers. One is a killer, rapist and a thoroughly bad human being. The other is caring and strive for the betterment of human society. He respects others and do whatever he can to make them happy. Lets say the former{the bad twin} became rich by robing and killing while the other remained poor because he was unwilling to harm anyone. Do they both deserve to parish after death in the same way? If there is a GOD and he is just than this is impossible so there must be some reward or punishment after death!

Absolute goodness is impossible. Its logical corollary is absolute evil, and if absolute evil existed, these two powers would cancel each other out. (Just like the famous example of the irresistible force and the immovable object).\nThe main philosophical problem here is defining exactly what we mean by 'good' and 'bad'. Sunlight is good - very good, or life on our planet would consist of tube worms and anerobic bacteria. However, too much sun is dehydrating and destroys life. So it is clear that sunlight is morally neutral, or if you please, morally mixed. Gravitation likewise - without it we couldn't walk on the surface of our planet, but when you're in a plane that has dead engines, you might wish that gravity didn't exist. Everything in nature is like this.\nOne of the key errors in theology is asserting that God is beyond nature or outside of it. Since by definition God/dess is omnipresent (everywhere at once) and infinite, then it is plain that there can be no place and no thing in which the Divine is not present. This is the 'heresy' of Pantheism, but it can't be refuted with logic.

hmmmmmnnn! very much like the conspiracies from where I come from... but not as sophisticated. But you know, I believe that those in power tend to justify evil for a "better" cause...sometimes even  if it meens erradicating people who in their belief whose lives are "insignificant" to their cause. That "cause" maybe  power,pride,vengeance, wealth,religion, lives of a few or more non "insignificant" individuals.  I find it hard to accept but somehow, I believe it is in it each one of us. In fact, it is written in our history books. We all have our Guardian Devil's to guide us.....fighting the urge to give in to the "URGE" would deeply depend on our individual ability to balance our sense of good and evil, right and wrong. sometimes....we tend to balance things with the conclusion that evil becomes right, and good becomes less right.  sad but true.......  9-11 is just a reflection of this nature.  sometimes, I believe that the whole world has becum a physical entity of HELL itself. This is not the world God wants us to live in or what He wanted for us. But we formed it this way.....so much for free will!!! After Noahs Arc, God may want to punish us all next with FIRE for all we know. I dont know if this world could ever get cured..... God knows......!

I have thought about it- a lot! I don't have any answers, just more questions; if God is omnipotent ( all knowing, all powerful, etc ) than why is there such suffering in the world? Why do children get cancer, why do bad things happen to supposedly God-fearing people who are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing in His eyes? Why indeed...

Evil is a choice. God made man, man made evil.

you're not suppose to worry. everything is happening as it should. There's nothinig you can do about. so really, there is no "evil" because it's being done according to a divine destiny. "good" and "evil" are illusions, and heaven and hell in the after life are illusions too. the bible says god is the alpha and omega, the first and the last, so we are born from God and we go back to God, regardless of what others and we may think. FACT. do the resaerch and you will learn that hell was put into the bible by constantine and the church to control the masses. Live every moment as if it's your last.

There are evil angels impersonating good angel here on earth.  I cane imagine they would do such a thing.

For one thing, the root of all evil is the love of money, not money itself. There are those that believe the seed of evil (as well as good and neutral) is the "self". The rest is way to deep.

If God does not exist, how does that for one second make my life a lie?  If I found out that God did not exist, I would not feel stupid or tricked.  I would feel disappointed, but I think I'd be rather philosophical about it.  After all, I LIKE the life I lead.  It's not as though I suffer through it because I'm afraid of hell, and if I found out that God didn't exist, I don't think I would live all too much differently.  Unless you're suggesting that loving people and helping others has no merit?  You say that at least in hell you'd be surrounded by nice people, but try reading through your question again.  There's nothing nice in that.  Quite frankly, you're giving good atheists a bad name.

Here's another noodle-baker.  If God is all powerful and all-benevolent, why is there evil in the world at all?  Either he is not all powerful (if he were he would have no evil) or else is not all-benevolent. (He could wipe out evil but chooses to allow evil things to happen anyways, something a loving and good God would not allow.)\nTake your pick, either way God is not all-perfect.

Not really, because if we didn't know what is evil, how would we know what is good? There would be no comparison and therefore good would be just what everything is.

Evil... in my opinion is an overused term which encompasses all things and actions perceived to extraordinarily cruel or unjust.  What do I think in real life is evil?  I really don't know.  You see I'm in college and my way of thinking has been a little skewed lately... I guess Adolf Hitler, Charles Manson, the IRS...

If evil exists and god is against evil then god cannot be all good all knowing and all powerful at the same time.He either doesn't know about evil, doesn't have a problem with evil, or can't do anything about evil. \n\nThis is not about free will either, as if god is all knowing he would have known about evil before it happens, If he were all powerful he would be able to stop the evil, and were he all good he would not have created people who were going to do evil in the first place. \n\nThere is no way arround it, such a god would have created the universe for evil to be in it. He would have wanted evil. Thankfully there's polytheism.

According to the below website you cannot tour/visit the house, because there are people who live there and make it their home.\n\nI think evil does exist.  I also think that people can be psychopaths, as I think was the case for the man who killed his family there.

I also continue to think about this subject. I have read many books in which one character is evil and one is good. Pro- and Antagonist. I have come to the conclusion that there is none such dilemma as to which is which and who is better. If you have an ideal can you really call it evil? People who are called evil are thought this way by their ideals and the actions that come of their ideals. Looking at it from the protagonist's view, the ideals the protagonists share are good and the antagonist's ideals are bad/evil. But from the view of the Antagonist, those views thought to be good are actually bad and those which are evil are really good.

Yes I do. Both good and evil. The bible says we fight against powers and principalities.
