So pure evil (or hell if you wish) is the total absence of pure love (God). God no more causes evil than light causing darkness.
Why can't love not be a thing, but rather a privation: an absence of evil (in various degrees)? So pure love (or heaven if you wish) is the total absence of pure evil (Satan). Satan no more causes love than darkness causing light.

Thanks for the heads up, but it's far, far too long.

Take your time. Read a little when you can. That's what I did. It probably took me a couple of months to actually finish reading it, a little at a time.

But I'm telling you, however long it takes, it's well worth it.

For someone who's not actually interested in getting answers even 1 page is far too long.

That's basically a short novel. Try to think of it that way.

I don't really prefer reading from a screen. I love the feel of paper in my hands over a glass screen.

Deleted by moderator. Please do not use that word. Yes.
That's why I copied it. :mrgreen:

EDIT: Hahaha... Why such a partybreaker, Rick? :mrgreen: The f word fit there perfectly! You can't say it didn't! :lol:
I merely emphasized on how much I agree with Horator.
