I've never really believed this, but do you have a way of relating this to the topic assuming it's true?
Well I too believe good and evil are deeply interlinked,but not in a way we conventionally assume.And since most of the posts in this thread either point to God as being a badass and evil,or they believe He's just not good enough at his own game,I have an alternative theory for you guys to feast upon.
Consider the statements, " good being victorious over evil", or "good defeating evil" .Honestly these statements make no sense to me. (I'm not talking reality-wise or anything,just with their definitions) Because,to defeat something,beat it beyond the point of rising up again,I believe you got to have an evil instinct yourself. Therefore "defeating" evil cannot be done unless you yourself have the instinct to go ahead and rip its head off,and for that you need to have a bit of evil in yourself.
I guess you see the point i'm trying to make,that for good to defeat evil it has to have a bit of evil within itself,and therefore defeating the very purpose.Hence it can never be done.And evil can never be "defeated". Let us now make the assumption that God is a purley good being,head to toe.YOu obviously no can imagine that knowing of all the evil in the world,he cannot go out and simply end it for that shall require evil on his part,which is out of the question.
Then what can be done to defeat evil,say you?I find answer in the approaches of leaders like M.K. Gandhi,who believed that the only way you can defeat your enemy is not by physical methods but by making them realise what is right and what is wrong,by appealing to their soul,and you shall have your way surely.There is an entire thing on Satyagraha,you can read it on the net somehere later.Basically its defeating evil by turning it to good.
Its time consuming,though,and you could imagine God's position.You could realise that being too "good" comes at its own price,people start thinking that your bad and impotent(as most people here) ,call you names and stop believing in you,and you still cant do nothing because you are good. Hence i believe God too suffers,despite being omnipotent,but its all for a cause! :) (hes not some bad ass dancing away with all the ladies!!! )(funny to imagine that though)
Well its just a theory though,and it explains to my own little brain of why there is so much unbalance in the world,so there you go :)
