Question #601: The Problem of Evil

[Ask Zeus Operator]

Why is there evil in the world? Who is responsible for the existence of evil in the world? Why does gods allow evil to exist? If the humans were enginered by 'good god', why humans are evil?

Nobody is responsible because no being controls everything or created everything. Good and bad things happen mostly by chance. Your questions are based on two presumptions:

1)That there's a being who controls everything
and
2)That absolute good and evil exist

Neither of these is true. There's not any being who controls everything and everything is a mixture of good and bad, as there's balance. Humans are a mixture of good and bad too.

Satan doesn't represent the absolute good as there's no such thing. He is good only in a relative way: that he created us and cares about us, i.e. he is good to us. If he hated humanity he would be bad to us. He is not all-powerful nor does he control everything that happens in the world.
