religion question

I think evil is needed to define good and that both are needed to facilitate an elaborate system of checks and balances that are beyond the scope of what we can experience through the limited senses available to us. If you tend to think of a higher power or spirit that is not only within us (and needs to use us to experience the world) but also outside of us (to "be" the world) at the same time and who tries to incorporate EVERYTHING in making existence work, then you may view "evil" as not so much as something that "should not be" as much as something that is "necessary to be" but that we do not have the infinite overview that is inherently part of this spirit. Did that make any sense? Sorry about the rambling. :spliff
