Why all the Evil in the world?

Why does all the evil exist and why does God allow evil to exist?

I was asked years ago, about 2011, about the evil in the world and why did God allow the Second World War to happen. and for a few hours I thought about it, and then the thought popped in to my head, “God didn’t start the war, any war, humans started them all.”

That was when it became clear to me that God didn’t start any war, even the so-called religious wars. Humans are always the ones starting the wars, and even with religious wars there is a hidden agenda, religious pride on one or both sides, a reason to gain something materialistic from the war under the pretense of fighting for God, or it was an ego, pride, or someone seeking power from war. Often winning wars means getting a country, land, or resources from that land, and any claim can be made to start the war and then once the war is won whatever the real reason for the war is taken from that country.

 God is the opposite of war, God is slow to anger, and God seeks peace.

Humans seek war, slavery, control of other people, they seek power, destruction, cruelty, and the destruction of other life on the planet and the destruction of their own living environment. Humans use ways to divide people to start a war and then keep it going.

 How does it come about that human beings resort to war and evil activities?

Mostly because society has become materialistic, which is the moving mentally away from Empathy and Love to Apathy and Materialism. Society, such as today is commercial, based on work, money/income, taxes, Governments and the gain of personal pleasures and personal material gain.

Children grow up in such societies learning education and how to become a part of this social material lifestyle while ignoring the suffering of those around them. Pridefully we are told that we are members of the working class, important and we should be proud of that – while it is heavily implied that those who are not middle class, not working, not on our standard of living, and so forth, are not worthy like we are.

This causes the people that the Upper Class and Middle Class look down on the less fortunate and this can cause them to become desperate, and causes the Upper and Middle Classes to feel that the Lower Classes, the poor and needy are foolish, stupid, failures, not as good, and so forth, and pride often is the reason why the Lower Classes are shamed and looked down on, yet most got there due to social injustices and their upbringing’s.

The more that the less fortunate break the laws, do foolish things, the more that they are heavily judged and disliked – very few people actually realize that they are only this way because of our society.

The Human was given many abilities that animals don’t have, such as an unlimited memory system, and the ability to freely choose its future path. The main weakness it appears that people have is that they can be groomed into choosing a choice that they feel is free-will when in reality they were tricked, such as the millions that follow dictators – once the dictator has been in power some years the public tend to regret putting the dictator in power – but when they first chose to put the dictator in power they saw no wrong in the idea or that dictator, and they felt that they were not groomed to choosing that person, but that they were using free choice.

The evil in the world exists because human beings have two sides to them – one is good and the other is evil – we have the ability to choose either, but also the ability to choose to use evil tools like revenge, hate and such, or to choose to forgive, help people in need, and know that we are all to be treated as equals if we want a good wholesome world.

If all evil was wiped out of the world, and Satan and his lot were executed, within a short period of time it would all start up all over again, because some people choose to do evil doings rather than being good people. As Jesus said, evil will always exist, and this is because humans exist.

The only reason why the world is so materialistic in thought and lifestyles is because humans chose that this was the way we want to live.

There is a famous quote that Satan does not make us do anything, it is up to us to choose. Like Eve with the forbidden fruit, we have a choice to take the temptation or to walk away. Today people are taught from a young age that the temptations are acceptable, good fun choices, and if they struggle and don’t want to accept the temptations society provides the peer pressure system where people around us nudge us into copying their foolish activities until we become foolish like them.

In all religions and even in atheism, they believe that what we do comes back to us as we deserve.

In the Bible in Ecclesiastes Chapter 11, verses 1-10: says that if we do good wherever we go, the good will come back to us. Galatians 6:9 says that if we do not give up, we will reap in due season.

We reap what we sow, and that we are what we think about.

The idea that if we want more love in the world, we should give out love (be what we want to see in others and be how we want others to treat us), and if we want more people to care about us, we should spend more time showing people we care, spreading love, compassion and feeling others sufferings ourselves and desire to understand what they are going through.

Karma: The idea that what we give out, we get back in the same form. People tend to think that if someone does something bad then it comes back to them in some punishable way.

 Many people in the world that are suffering, are in fact suffering because they allow it to happen.

Such as countries where the people are being pushed around, the suffering is because the people let it happen, once it happens then the people just live with the suffering until sometime in the future they finally understand what is going on and they overthrow the dictators, or have a revolutions and such, and in this way they took matters in to their own hands and changed things for the better for the country and people – it is not God’s will that they suffer, but it is also not God’s fault, and it is not up to God to free the suffering people because even if God did free them they still live in a mental captivity that accepted their suffering and they will just let another dictator take over their country and repeat the suffering.

Many women abused in some sort of domestic violence and abuse are often taken away to freedom and safety by the authorities (but because they have a mind that was groomed into accepting the captivity and suffering as safety and good) they go back to their abuser/s and it all happens all over again.
God steps in, and these suffering people get freedom, and they go back to suffering of their own choice. In other words, like the masses in a country abused by a dictator, the only way the victims of grooming and captivity can really have free will and freedom they must walk away of their own choice and free themselves, even if it means taking down their groomers in court using the legal system.

The reason why many people like myself want us to go back to simple family values is to get back to the basics and start over again. A sports or business coach will tell you that when things are going haywire and crazy that it is always best to go back to the basics and start all over again.

The world needs to stop using evil tools, to stop allowing their physical and mental weaknesses control them, and family values need to come back in to society completely.

The fall of humankind or the fall of our own lives is something that comes from our own submission to our own foolish activities and weaknesses.

Not even evil is to blame, for in no other animal on the planet does evil thrive in like it does when human beings choose to enjoy and be evil, selfish and greedy, mean and abusive.

God can’t change the world, only we humans can.
