[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 55660, member: 35"] Pritpal ji This is our point of disagreement I don't agree with the statement below: [COLOR="Blue"]"WAHEGURU who is the creator of both good and evil. "[/COLOR] But thank you for following up on my question to you. I also do not agree that fear of death drives us to seek our connection to God. This happens for some people, not everyone. It is not true in my case-- therefore, I will infer that there have to be others for whom fear was not the motivation. The argument that God created everything, and therefore God created evil --raises some very bothersome questions about the nature of God. If God created evil then why would God care enough to be present in our immediate lives (be felt as an immanent God) offering an alternative to evil? Again, like the arguments about free will, this question has been visited by philosophers and theologians for generations. Sikhi is not a religion that takes a single-minded and simple-minded view of these questions. Waheguru does not set virtue traps for us to see if we will sin, then stand back and from a-far and wait to see what we will do about it. A God who does this is tricky, under-handed and deceitful. Would you want such a god to be present in your life? Or this God?
