Blog # 5 The question
The big question that I keep on seeing with different websites is can evil exist without good? I am going to take the side of evil just exists. Its not because God allows things to happen to good people, it just does. The most convencing argument is in the book problems from philosophy with the story of Job. Job was a very righteous man that did not deserve to loose his family, wealth and also his health but he did and not one time did he denouce God. Sometimes bad things happen to good people and there arent any explanations.

I agree with your post. Evil does happen to good people sometimes. As much as we like to think it doesn't happen, just look at when innocent children are unfortunate victims of abuse. Evil will always be around as long as there are humans. I would also be willing to argue that there are some scenarios where evil could exist without good.
I think this topic may lead to why people think that "death" is such a crucial subject and why people take it as evil. Yes, evil will always be around and yes, bad things may happen to good people. But as humans, our bodies weren't created to live forever and these are subjects that we just have to accept.
