The Problem of Evil
As the world sets out for peace, its biggest rival is “evil.” It’s everywhere around us and most of the time, we are oblivious to its actions. To first fix a problem, it is always a good idea to know about the problem. Is evil actually a problem? Evil is more or less defined as the opposite of good moral or something that is wrong. People confess that they are good, but will deny that they are evil. Like I said in the last blog post, evil has run deep through evolution. Ok to stray from evolution a little, religion has brought forth God. One who is ultimately pure and good. Then you have Satan, who was cast down from heaven. When people think of Satan, he is usually associated with evil, bad, and destruction. To me, I believe that Satan was created as a way for people to associate evil with simply because God cannot do any wrong.

From this site, I wanted information on where Satan originated from. All theories were intreguging, but because there were so many I did not specify one. I have my own beliefs on where he is from bible scriptures. But just seeing how much more was out there than I thought was intriguing.

All people have different views about "evil" and what it means. But I was looking for the degree of how bad it is to others. Some are scared of it, and others will get upset over it. How would this differ, if the opposite was asked.

Searching for the origin of evil. This does not exactly tell me to that of which evil arose from, but I get some good theories of why good and bad go together. It mostly boils down to the argument over religion, but I don’t want to use this as much because that is another argument.

This blog may not be as sound because of the many thoughts I had jumbled in my head and trying to associate them with my sources.
