Why would God need to even create some "equalibrium?" He's God, he doesn't need an excuse to why he has created good. He doesn't have to answer to anyone does he? Why a counterpart? We do not need to have an counterpart of everything to know two sides of something. Further, many things do not have any counterparts. What is the
counterpart of chalk? We know perfectly what chalk is without knowing what its counterpart is.

Just kidding.
The only reason you know what chalk is
is because you've been told.
(thats not a zing. Let me explain)
We only know what god is, or what his standards are,
because we've been told.
So yes, chalk (or god) could exist,
but only because we have a notion of him.
An idea or notion is created out of collective experiances,
one of which is comparison. (good and evil)
this is all reptitive on my part, of course.
Nietzche already proved that God and human morality are dependent on each other.

when you're a child you try to fly though, and then you learn you can't. That's not so
much a matter of choosing as it is biology, though, but i guess that's your point.

Not exactly. Well, in a way.
That child is expressing either pure stupidity, or a misconception.
Stupid people I can feel sorry for, Like Ed Gein. They're like drug addicts,
and just need understanding, and hopefully treatment, as Kahl pointed out.
My second point was misconception. Misconception can fall into both the catagories of
enviroment and mental disease.
Enviroment is a template that pre-designates a persons so-called "free will"
that enviroment will permanently engrave a persons mind to function in a certain way.
Mental disease is the next catagory. This one is more difficult, because it's sometimes
impossible to draw the line between misconception and and mental disease. Yes, this is more a
question of biology.
So, is the deviant person evil because of misconception, which is really a skewed vision
of a logical or moral idea, or is he evil because of a biological (chemical or nurological)
flaw?
If bilogical, then that does indeed mean that some people are predestined to commiting evil acts.
If the subject has a misconcieved idea, then that means a skewed view was introduced somewhere
(family, community, or school), in which case fault lies with the society.
For all others, those who's upbringing was normal, and the person never experianced any trauma,
those people are plain evil. They probably commit their acts out of boredom,
because they always had a "straight-line" life. No ups or downs.
Oh yeah, to answer your question,
about why god allows suffering and illness, etc.
Because we need to go through the suffering in order to learn.
. Just let the libertarian, wait, he changed flavors already, I mean the greenindirepublicrat talk to himself.
