Why
is there Evil in the World.
This
question has plagued Christians for Millennia. It is not logically
possible to prove the existence of evil. However, there are things
which hurt us in the world, and people do bad things to other people.
Why
would a merciful God allow this?
Christians
believe that the world is only a temporary episode in their existence.
They leave it to return to God. A D&D adventure is only a temporary
episode in life, they leave it to return to reality. This is a close
paralel. If there were no evil in the D&D campaign it would be
boring and not worth doing. Likewise, without the challenges that
'evil' present in
our
world, life would be boring and meaningless.
Some
challenges, the possibility of bad things happening is necessary to life.
Is this why 'evil' exists? Probably not, but it explains it on an
emotional level.
Just
as you leave D&D to return to real life. You leave this life
to return to a higher reality, one where the 'evil' that happened to you
is only a part of the rich tapestry of memories that you return to heaven
with.
