>be pagan

sure is nice. lately I realized that I don't need to build my own cabin for my eventual plan to be a hermit in the woods. I can just monkey around with an old RV to create my retirement home in the forest. Collect rainwater and use solar panels or pedal power for electricity.

The existence of evil is a good reason to believe God exists. This is because the concept of evil doesn't make any sense unless there's an objective standard of good. You can't call a line crooked unless you have some idea of a straight one, which is why evil is defined as a deprivation of good.
