CAN GOD BE DEAD?

If you believe that God is dead or, like an atheist that God never existed in the first place, then how would you describe evil? To me evil is the absence of light.
Because everything is made of light, or energy if you prefer that word, maybe it would be more accurate to say that evil is the inability or even the refusal to perceive light. So, if there are those who can't perceive light, experience it and know it, then I would take the idea another step and state that evil is also invested in keeping others from perceiving light. I refer to them as "The Dark Brotherhood" and it's possible that they are descended from the so-called fallen angels.

What they promote is clearly reflected in the contrast between: dark/light, greed/generosity, sorrow/joy, truth/lie, love/hate. Who they are can be seen all around you, at the highest levels of large institutions of government, religion, education, and down to those you interact with day-to-day.


I am not attracted to being part of a war between good and evil. I'm not interested in drawing battle lines or promoting conflict of any kind. Instead, I believe at the core of my being that this all comes down to the choices you make every day. Do you choose to perceive light, experience and know it?
No matter how small, lost, unmoved, or poor you may feel, the saying goes...
"It is better to light one candle, than to curse the darkness."
