At the waiting area of a clinic, I picked up a New Yorker Magazine.  The magazine freely opened up on this page.  It must be a favorite page for all patients waiting patiently for their numbers to be called.

Intruder Alert… A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

Not only there is violence in the outside world such as Boston, but there is also violence in WordPress bloggers.  I am here to warn all of you of this blogger that I welcomed to the circle and unbeknownst to me, “it” has a hidden agenda. 

I do not take delight in exposing anyone, but I want to give you warning how evil operates in the guise of Freedom of Speech at the expense of others.  “It” feeds on others and as a responsible blogger, I want to throw some light on this.

Beware of this blogger: thebloggingpath.com.  These are the selected entries that I discovered that “it” posted.

Absence of Light

A while back ago, I posted in Daily Prompt Does Evil Exists?   I wrote this and left it hanging without the whole story attached to it.  

The story is written in a magazine I picked up during one of my wanderings and I kept the article. It was published in a magazine that supports the expansion of the network of light ~ EAGLEyeONE – author unknown. 

The story is one of our “email favorites” and it has a thought provoking message no matter what you believe.  When it comes to what we believe, bear in mind that the word God should be replaced by whatever higher power or interpretation you believe in. 

  The university professor challenged his students and this question.  “Did God create everything that exists?” 

  A student bravely replies. “Yes.  He did!” 

  “God created everything?” the professor asked. 

  “Yes sir.”  The student replied. 

  The professor answered.  “If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil.” 

  The student became quiet before such an answer. 

  The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth. 

  Another student raised his hand and said, “Can I ask you a question, professor?”  “Of course,” replied the professor. 

  The student stood up and asked, “Professor. does cold exist?” 

  “What kind of questions is this?  Of course it exists.  Have you never been cold?” 

  The students snickered at the young man’s questions.  The young man replied, “In fact sir, cold does not exist.” 

  “According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality, the absence of heat.  Everybody and every object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy.  Absolute zero (-460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature.  Cold does not exist.  We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have too little heat.” 

  The student continued, “Professor, does darkness exists?  The professor responded, “Of course it does.” 

  The student replied, “Once again you are wrong, Sir, darkness does not exist either.  Darkness is in reality the absence of light.  Light we can study, but not darkness.  In fact, we can use Newton’s prism to break the white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each colour.  You cannot measure darkness.  A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it.  How can you know how dark a certain space is?  You measure the amount of light present.  Isn’t this correct?  Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.” 

  Finally the young man asked the professor, “Sir does evil exist?” 

  Now uncertain, the professor responded, “Of course as I have already said.  We see it every day.  It is in the daily example of man’s inhumanity to man.  It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world.  These manifestations are nothing else but evil.” 

  To this, the student replied. “Evil does not exist, Sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself.  Evil is simply the absence of God.  It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God.  God did not create evil.  Evil is not like faith, or love, that exist just as does light and heat.  Evil is the result of what happens when man does comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.” 

  The professor sat down.

Now, I have been contemplating about my experience in Ashram with regards to the Divine Light in relation to this article.  The question to me is “Where is God in that situation?”

Daily Prompt: Quote Me – Does Evil Exist?

 

“Do you have a favorite quote that you return to again and again? What is it, and why does it move you?”

When it comes to what I believe, I bear in mind that the word God might be different to other belief system.  If you are reading this, the word God should be replaced by whatever higher power or inspiration you believe in.

Here is a man who questioned everything.  And he answers it, too.

The question is “Does Evil Exist?”

His answer:
“Evil does not exist or at least it does not exist unto itself.”
“Evil is simply the absence of God.”

Thought provoking.  This poster hangs on the west wall of my sanctuary.  I stare at it every day.

I want to know God’s thoughts … the rest are details.
