cos if evil is the absence of good then evil is not created but
rather a result of the absence of sth created...but if evil is the
opposite of good then evil and good would both be sth
which are created...hope u get the difference...
I see. I read about this form of 'logic' somewhere.
Even if we don't bring in the creator-God - without a doubt, we all
can agree that evil is NOT good, not the absence of good.
The trick question is: if one is to answer that evil is the
absence of good, then the creator-God will be exonerated. If
one is to say that evil is the opposite of good, then one must
begin with 'good', otherwise how to have opposite? And vice
versa.
There is also a flaw in the statement 'evil is the absence of
good'. If good is absent, there is 'no' good to begin
with. So how do you fathom evil?
You see what logically trick can do to those who lacked
intellectual capacity to reason. Someone who wants to
justify that evil is not created will say evil is the 'absence of
good' and these people will be sold!
The point I want to make is this: anyone who believes there is a
First Cause cannot
find excuse that there is another Cause. The
Christian argument is this: God created 'good', it is Satan who
created evil. This mean there are two Causes!
