In reply to Does evil exist?, posted by Larry Hoover on December 25, 2004, at 10:52:16
there is an equal and opposite reaction.
If good exists, so does evil.
While working as a volunteer in the school library some years back, I had some HS kids come sit at the table where I was working. These three lads were the "bad" kids in their pretty bad class.
One of them, the rather intelligent one, said to me, "I don't believe in God. I believe in the devil."
Now, I knew these kids, and I knew they knew I was a Sunday School teacher at the time. They were just trying to "shock" me. (Hilarious, given my lurid past.)
I replied, "Without God, there is no reason for the devil."
Still my take on the subject.
