CONFESSION ZERO

Jason Lisle: "If God doesn't exist, there's no such thing as evil." Dear Jason, you do realize that in that you are saying that God created evil, right? Then you followed that with, "The fact that there is evil in the world is proof of the existence of God."... I don't think you understand what you're saying, brother. God did not create evil. I believe that since "evil" exists, and God did not "create" it, it is only proof that humankind is a foolishly fearful beast. If evil ceases to exist, does this mean that God ceases to exist? It's a circle, Jason, best you remember that... MrP © 2015 Mark Richard Prime, I am.

If what we choose to represent "evil" is more sinister than the "evil" itself, our imagination has gotten the better of us. © 2015 Mark Richard Prime, I am.

I do not understand the thinking that "evil" comes from God? For what purpose would it serve if it came pre-installed in all models? I think we have conjured "evil" from our fears since "evil" certainly seems to be manifested through our actions and not come raging from our birth. Fear is learned. I do not mean instinctual fear which is a reaction of our beast and our environment, I mean fear that carries on or over from that and into our everyday thinking. The fear that manifests itself in our actions of war, murder, indifference, rape, torture, thievery, etc. These things, which stem from fear, are born out of habit and out of greed, want over need. These things cannot be born in us, not if God is Love and Peace, Forgiveness and Laughter. It seems that the tests we learn from these days are more human-born than of God, and I believe the lessons are up to us to learn or dismiss through indifference or what have you, to be good or to be bad, to gi...

(If we're God and we've all of God in us, doesn't that mean that God is good and evil?) We are born of Creation, God (Love). Some would say that we're only born of God (Love), that God (Love) is not fully within us, to which I say, if God (Love) is all and everything, then within us is born God's fullness, not simply a fraction, but all. Neither God, nor Love, do fractions. (What?) All of God (Love) is within our ungrateful shells, within everything and all. It is we the collective that must learn to tap into its fullness and not imagine that we're incapable of being God's (Love's) fullness. (But then how can we choose to be or not to be good or evil, if, as you say, it's a circle.) God (Love) is not "evil", humankind's choices are selfish, therefore corrupted. If we made only loving choices upon the circle we would see. We would be rewarded for cleansing the air, the water and the soil. We would be rewarded for living, laugh...

The dawdle in his gait seems to speak of the joy at having breathed at all! Selfless and filled with an awe at his great fortune, the spirit walks by… (Begin.) Money is indeed the root of all evil, which means that there must be an origin, a source of such wickedness that seems to be hidden? (Perhaps it is in your pea-brain, but not mine!) Which is exactly why you, dear Curmudgeon, are the perfect spirit to be asking, your pea-brain is churning toward God and mine is churning toward Love, surely we’ll see one another along the way? © 2012 the spirit of Love dancing through Mark Richard Prime
