euphoria.

not to be crude Ricter, but why do you get involved with women? Logically, it is a terrible move, for a bunch of reasons. You disregard the power of endorphins at your peril.

Sorry guys but you obviously don't know what you are talking about. Pulling a few words out of a book that you don't understand and claming that it is wrong or silly makes no more sense than monkeys can produce by typing on a keyboard.

Why don't you limit your inquiry to what is evil from a religious person's point of view, but not that of an atheist?

Or, focus on the question of God's relationship with the universe, again, from a religious (but not atheistic) perspective?

You're still begging the question, by giving synonyms.

I can't believe this philosophical point is so difficult to concede.

So, for the second time, why does God allow evil, if in fact he hates it?

I could be confused. Please state, in concrete, definitive terms, what your philosophical point is.

wouldnt it be wise to document some evidence that a god exists before we think about the relationship this imaginary being has with us?

God doesn't hate anything. Evil is just the temporary, localized abscence of good, resulting from a free-will-based human decision, that's all. I's a human-driven light and shadow kind of thing.
