There is also a theological tradition that evil does not really exist. Evil is merely the absence of good. If so, there is no devil or Satan.

Were jumping back into the topic of Elvis has left the building. After all that still the same...
Evil is good gone wrong. If pure evil existed then I would put into question whether or not that was created from a all good God. But I cannot. Anything anyone has ever done, any evil act can be rationalized to benefit one group/person. unless some kind of irrational mental disability was present.
God did not create evil. God created the possibility of choice which allowed for "good gone wrong".
