God has the right to remain silent. For His advocates, however, each resigned shrug is a missed opportunity to win new converts.

Yes, I know. Ermm
Wasn't it God who invented this symmetry? Why can't He find a way around it? Or doesn't He want to?

Is that the only reason? If so then surely there are other, less harmful ways He could arrange things to achieve the same result. There are real killings reported in the news and fictional ones on TV and in books, but the fictional ones often elicit a more powerful response from audiences. Why not use that method instead?


Ying%20Yang  Yin and yang
positive and negative forces
the force of good, the force of evil
it's just the structure of the world
don't ask me why Ermm
What would happen if a magnet had only a positive force?
Can that even happen?

I have observed the exact same behavior from Muslims.  Can you say anything constructive? 

God allows evil to exist, without which one could not recognize good.  Evil tries to appear good often times truth will emerge.
 
The root and source of all evil is ...... ignorance.  (Plato... something like that).
I cannot deny this statement. 
 
How is it that Jews and Christians are considered the worst filth imaginable according to Allah, yet Allah is forgiving and loving?  But Jesus was a prophet from God according to Muslims.  So therefore God created a filthy unclean person?  This does not make any sense to me.  I can only conclude that the Quran is not from God but written by men with political motives, with evil motives from evil influences.   Jesus was not evil and his words per the bible do not reflect evil.  But the Quran is full of questionable sayings of Muhammed.  Yet Muslims are taught that it is OK to kill "nonbelievers" (of what?)  and that anyone questioning the Quran can be killed, even if it is your brother!  Is that love???
