Did God create Evil? This will make you think for a while.

> "Yes, you may," responded the professor.

> The young man stood up and said "Sir, is there such

>
> The professor responded, "Of course. We have rapes,

>
> The student replied, "Actually, sir, evil does not

> did not create evil. It isn't like truth, or love,
> which exist as virtues. Evil is simply the state where
> God is not present, like cold without heat or darkness
> without light."
