The Riddle of Epicurus
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

ah yes, the result of the duality principle that has corrupted Western religions.
Eastern faiths don't have that problem, because God is neither "good" nor "evil" per se....God, like the Universe, simply is, and good and evil are functions of our own lives instead of the outside world.

Good and evil are perceptions of humanity. Destruction and construction are natural events as are life and death.
