A lot of people seem to have certain faith in God, and I can respect them for that, but it makes no sense to me.
I wish I could share the disposition, the idea that this imperfect world was created by a perfect God, and somehow all the pain and suffering that comes along with it will just be worth it in the end.
I can't see it, though.
I know that the mysterious of the higher realms are not to be understood, but that can't stop my impotent urge to try and understand why all this keeps on happening.
Everything is Good.
God is Good.
There is a Devil, and we must reject his influence.
And it only makes sense if you believe in the symmetry of Good and Evil. The innate human desire to balance things out.
It could be entirely possible that Good and Evil are not balanced.
That we just want to perceive things as happening in a dichotomy, because of our flawed perception.
I think any God that was in charge of creation probably had to be ambivalent, not Good.
Because that God allowed the creation of Child-Molesters. That God allowed kids to enjoy a brief, innocent, beautiful childhood, only to strip it away from them, because that God also allowed Monsters.
I don't get.
I believe in God.
But I can't come to any logical conclusion in which he isn't Evil.
