I know. The Lord couldn't help but believe that. 2000 yrs ago they didn't know anything about the universe, and didn't know that it's mostly darkness ... and that's why light stands out in it ... but does not overcome all the abundant darkness. Darkness overcomes the light.

I wish we could. The PROBLEM of evil, is that good doesn't overcome it.

I made no such choice. We today made no such choice. We don't even know what the forbidden fruit tasted like. I would have told the serpent to screw off, and eaten from the tree of life.

Don't you mean He keeps His grand plan closely breasted.

It doesn't seem to be beneficial for the Palestinians, being treated like Hitler treated the Jews.
