The same fire causes straw to smoke and gold to gleam. The same press threshes the grain and crashes the stalk. So the same trouble worsens the wicked and improves the good. Consequently the difference between the wicked and the good is not what they suffer, but the way they suffer. Therefore the same evil incites the wicked to deny God and stirs the good to pray to Him (Augustine, City of God 1, 8) |

What can't kill you will make you weaker and end up with a s**t load of medical bills whether you rely on a theological expert in sins and theological good/evil or not.

you say that, but the experiences of Joni Eareckson Tada, or Nick Vujicic, beg to differ, and have been quite the inspiration for many. what can't kill you.. is a matter of choice for what follows, always has been.

That would be God as revealed in the Bible.

Without bad there would be no good to show. And without dark we wouldnt value light. We can choose to avoid the dark tho. Just because we know it doesnt mean we need to walk in it. Without a higher set of moral its useless to ever say something is good or bad it just is what it is in this grey area of randomness. Without a Creator with a set of requirements there really is no point in complaining about evil. If we actually accept there is a reason and purpose behind life and good and bad set by the Cause we can look into what could be wrong with us inorder to fix things. We are in charge of this planet and can either be useful or a parasite to the nature. Cant blame life itself for all thats wrong only ourselves.
