The Will Of God

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

i don't relate to the standard question, "why does God allow evil?"  
either.

it just HAS to BE.

look at the yin yang symbol as another basic, perfect symbol of it.

it's NOT the duality of it.
it's the dance.

sounds trite, but it's true.

and WHO are WE to judge?
