God is the Artist. Creation is his Art. I do not mean these things figuratively but literally. When you understand this, you shall know why God allows evil and suffering.
I hear the rhetorical blasphemy, “Where did God come from?” The answer is obvious… but a remark in the guise of a question is insincere.
I shall pretend to answer the false question by answering it truthfully: GOD IS THE SOURCE.
You do not understand? The obvious is beyond your comprehension?
A DERIVATIVE IS NOT THE SOURCE.
Are you still confused? Seriously?
If God is the source and a derivative is not the source then God did not come from anything but himself, by definition. Anything before him would be God instead… unless something comes before that. We know for a fact that there is always a beginning. To reach the very source, you must find the very beginning... something that always existed.
Take heed that time and sequence are derivative. We know this for a fact. There is no present without a past and there is no future without a present. There is no reaction without an action and no effect without a cause.
Why allow evil and suffering?
Why not? You are evil. You cause suffering. If you don’t
like these things, then stop.
