but evil isn’t the absence of God, merely an opinion that is based on a popular majority.
remember: just because they say it, doesn’t mean its true.

thats the whole point of being a Christian, its the only way to be close to God in a world thats so far away from him...
Then again, other sects say that being a good person brings you closer to god, still others say that believing in jesus brings you closer to god, and so on and so forth, and i still fail to see the point in saying “evil isn’t evil, it’s just the absense of god” even though it still amounts to the same thing, god created everything bad.

too things wrong with that. Albert einstein had dislexia(dont know how to spell it) so his mind wont allow him to think so intensly so quikly. Also saying evil doesnt exist its just the absense of god is also saying god doesnt exist. Since you could say god doesnt exist its just the absense of evil so it doesnt work. Also you could say light doesnt exist because its the absense of darkness and so forth and so forth. This is also explained by newton saying with every action theres a equal reaction witch keeps everything balanced. So if you say evil doesnt exist your saying god doesnt exist but if your saying god doesnt exist your saying evil doesnt exist.

Well very interesting but the absences of god does not equal evil. The abscense of god is simply the the loss of faith which is therefore reason. Reason comes from the abscense of god not evil. Haha I just owned Alber Einstein.
But anyways if god did create everything that there is then yes he did create evil. Cause evil is something that is in every human’s thoughts and only could be there if something put it there. And if you beleive that good created you then you believe that he put evil within you. But also remember without evil their wouldn’t be good now would there. But without good there still would be evil. Catch what I’m saying.
So to have good you must have something to define it with and what better than evil. So if you look at this totally hypothetically to have good you must have evil. But to have evil you don’t necessarily need good.
But more along the points Mr. Einstein brought up some really good thoughts but indeed he is wrong. If you believe in god you believe in everything he has thus created. He created man and man has evil in its thoughts.
But if you don’t believe in god then you believe that in every human there is the right to do good or bad. But there is an extremely then line between good and evil cause it’s all based on perception. Such as Hitler thought he was doing morally good by executing all the Jews in his attempt to make a superior race. While many others see that as evil he thought it was good for him, Germany, the world, and his faith. So really to judge anyone as being good or evil all goes to perception.
but I’m way off what we were talking about. You can look at it the way Eienstein did cause the absent of light is darkness. But those 2 situations cna only go one way. Darkness an cold are spinoffs of heat and light as darkness and cold really only exist cause of the absent of the other 2. But evil can exist with the absent of god cause people started off with evil within them. And believing in god doesn’t mean that you are a good or bad man but simply as you call yourself a Christian.
All in all we are all people with good and evil in ourselves and that’s just it. None of us can technically classify ourselves either way cause perception always goes both ways. But Mr. Einstein is a very smart man indeed. The proffessor was extremely smart himself but just not quick witted I guess.
Also just for a lasting thing here’s something interesting. Has anyone noticed that good and god and evil and devil are very similar. Good and god are exactly the same except with one letter difference while devil and evil are the exact same except with a one letter difference.
So what happened first. Did good and evil arise from god and devil or did god and devil arise from good and evil?

How can there be an absense of God if God is everywhere?
Depends if your a Christian or not for one. But in WW2 wouldn’t you say when millions of Jews were being put to death simply because they believed in the Jewish faith that there was an absent of god in you religion. Or do you think 6 million people were supposed to die because it was their time. That is the evil in man and in WW2 evil succeded. Good did not win.
But if you don’t believe in god then it’s the same accept always an absent of good and then you know evil took over. Evil is extremely powerful and addictive. It can turn even the best of use to the wrong moral ways. And evil definetly did win. Evil is still winning. Cause when someone does something good it’s not something that makes the headlines or something that causes some worldwide crise or something. But when something evil happens(9/11) that makes headlines and that cause world wide scale crysis.
