It's always easier to see evil than to see good. Like evil is absence of good, so ignorance is absence of reason, and submission to authority qua authority is absence of freedom. Our role is to make reason and freedom happen.
That's not all there is to it or, as some say, there's more! I once asked on another forum the question that's obvious as far as I'm concerned vis-à-vis our beloved Sky Daddy and his various versions, but I realized later on that that probably wasn't the best thing to do! We need to really work out the details of the issue if we're to get anything out of all this.
The place to begin is possibility. Given that possibilities alter, some durable
theories of existence are more reasonable, or more productive than others.
How insightful. Imagination is a gift (from God) and we use it so casually, so callously, so unthinkingly.
