Interesting question.
I think we would have to define "evil" first. What is "evil"? Not of God?
Who's God? What "characteristics" could we descibe God as? Who is God is also relative to religion. Who's religion is RIGHT, ?? Are they ALL on to something? Why would one religion be right over another? Who's got proof? All we have on earth are different types of "bibles" that were written by humans, who CLAIMED they hung out with their God and these miraculous things happened. They also used to burn women and called them witches. They also used to call epileptic people who would have seizures evil. A lot of sections of the bible deliberately say that women should be quiet and do whatever the man tells her to.. Gee. is that from GOD??? Or was that from some asshole who wants his women to do whatever he wants? You be the judge. Humans are too erroneous, fanatical, and emotional. I don't trust religions because they seem to simple and not to mention chauvanistic. "PRAY ..GOOD" "SEX BAAAAAD" Black/white...bleh. I believe our "God" and our universe are much more greater and intelligent and beautiful than we know...now. We're simply too simple of a creature to figure it all out as humans.
But, ..hm, there are ways to study our own energies and tuning into the energies of the universe. It sounds weird, but tha'ts cuz it's new and different and you might have this picture of this dingy chick holding crystals and doing this weird alien dance, but I'm telling you, i think it's right. If interested, check out what Deepak Chopra has to say in his book "The Way of The Wizard". I have felt a certain way all my life about God and the universe and how it all works and that's why I could never buy into religions, believe me I've tried, but none of them ever suited my own beliefs which were created by my own meditations and thoughtfulness. Deepak Chopra's theories concrete and affirm the answers I've already created during my life. It's amazing. God is LOVE. What is Love? An energy that we all swim blissfully in. The english language is simply to limiting to explain I guess. Love is what our souls need to flourish. That blissfullness, that love, that energy is God Itself. It's light and fresh and pure and so comfortable/ it's home for all of us. Our true home. Right now, our reality is based off of our human senses and our perception is dependent on our brains. But we're lucky, we are, as far as we know, the only race that can be conscious of being conscious. And "God", or this energy, who is not a man per say with a beard, etc., is in EVERYTHING. It's in all matter and everything. Our souls are energy/intelligence that were plugged into human bodies and our life and death are merely parentheses within our entire existence. Death, then, is grand, because we return to that pure love. And human existence is a priviledge. To breathe, to live, to walk, to be all that it is to be a human; to live the human experience, who knows if we'll get reincarnated!? Who knows if we destroy our own race of being!? When our bodies die, we return I guess to the cosmic soup. Return to God/Pure Love/Pure Energy.
But there are troubled energies.."bad" energies. Evil??? In this case, maybe there are REALLY bad energies!? Maybe these energies need to cycle through "time" to purify themselves? I do not know...yet. Suicide is a good example of this. When you kill yourself you take this awful energy with yoU! To who knows where, but it's not good. So live out your human experience and try to be happy as much as possible and live as closely as you can to that pure love energy as you can so you can enjoy and appreciate this opportunity to be human.
Love others, feel love in your heart. THat love iS GOD. Do whatever you have to do to get as close to that warm energy as possible. Then you can enjoy being a human, and being who you are, and still! are aware of the truth and trying to be as close to God as possible. Sorry I kind of went off on a tangent.
