How do you live in this world - filled with wars and chaos - with no hope of redemption or things getting better, and just thing "yep, this is all there is, life is good". As Christians, we have assurance, certainty and comfort in that Jesus is coming back to judge the world, destroy all the wicked and bring us to eternal life. Atheists don't have that. Even worse, some even prefer to insult this God. What's keeping me grounded in this life is the knowledge that God dictates when my life ends- not me.

You cannot destroy "evil" without destroying "good".

Evil is defined by the absence of good.

If you got rid of the darkness you would lose all of the colors, you would lose all of the sight, because there would be nothing to see except for the light.

No, the absence of good can also be neutral.

No, you don't need darkness to see light.

The darkness gives the light its form.

Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.

Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.

Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.
