they raise the question of evil,
and i’m telling you,
it is more complex
than they think it is.

why?

because one must question the questioner.

if there’s such a thing as evil,
you assume there’s such a thing as good.

if you assume there’s such a thing as good,
you assume there’s such a thing as a moral law
on the basis of which to differentiate
between good and evil.

if you assume there’s such a thing as a moral law,
you must posit a moral law giver,
but that’s whom they are trying
to disprove and not prove.

because if there’s not a moral law giver,
there’s no moral law.

if there’s no moral law,
there’s no good.

if there’s no good,
there’s no evil.

what is their question?
