Isn't it curious that when we talk of violence, killing, pain and survival
waysin the nature, we call it the natural order of things. When we
introduce the same conditions into the human world, as if we were somehow
apart from nature, we become judgemental and moralistic, and use terms
like "evil." Of course, Marcion's adjenda, not being able to reconcile how
a perfect and loving God could or would create something imperfect, hence
could have the qualities of the perfect Creator, was very selective in
what he saw and defined. At the same time, an evil Lucifer, would not and
could not create a world in which compassion, love, belief, faith,
sympathy, empathy, courage, support and encouragement exists. Such a
world would not have the qualities of a fallen creator.
Make it a good day.
