Re: The Problem of Evil
Human beings can choose to do or not do evil because they have the freedom make both moral and immoral choices

Re: "There has never been true communism."
One : we are not actually hardwired to be universally altruistic
Two : communism doesnt work because people like to own stuff as Frank Zappa said
The first applies to true communism and the second applies to economic communism
You all know the difference so I dont need to tell you what it is
