if a power like god exists then surely it/he must contain both good and evil. both exist and if god is all powerful that's where both must come from. if you have the traditional christian view of satan then god allows satan to exist. i know this question is a bit provocative but i'm interested to see your responses.

Good Question! First we must differentiate between the "Religious God," and the "Spiritual God." Religion is a man-made Scam that has been perpetrated on humanity for 2000 years. Its the Biggest and most Successful Scam ever, and has made the Christian Church into the most Powerful and Richest Business the world has ever seen. Religion dwells on opposites such as Good and Evil, Heaven and Hell, Sin and Righteous. Religion depends on negatives such as Sin, the Devil, and Hellfire to scare its parishioners into paying money to the Church for the Salvation of their Souls. This is the belief system of Traditional Christians.
In reality, a Spiritual God is Deity of Love. God Loves absolutely with an Absolute Love that Demands Absolutely Nothing! ( God Demands Absolutely Nothing in return for Complete and uncompromising Love)

Hi Jb. It is my personal feeling and belief that God does exist, and that evil also exists, but not in the same being. I also firmly believe that God gave each and every one of freedom of choice, and hence, does not intervene, since it would go against that freedom, even when one uses their choices do commit evil. Anything else would make basically make us nothing more than games pieces on a board.

God is unconditional love. God is very very smart. When one acquires true wisdom, it will lead to unconditional love. It is the only thing you really want to return to you. If you are evil, doesn't evil come back?? God created man with free choice. You could never learn without freedom of choice. If your choices are bad, that is considered evil.We learn from the consequences of our actions. How could we learn what the right choices were if we were not capable of choose wrong.Evil is important in learning wisdom. So evil is a good thing when one discovers it is something to be avoided. Good God created evil for the best of reasons. We are all eternal so isn't evil just a lesson to learn. Evil is really good but don't tell anybody. They'll lock you away in the nut house.
