The monotheistic paradigm of evil/suffering/sin can be challenged as not having anything to do with God, while still valuing morality. I do this by approaching sin as: universal needs not met.
I.e. The consequence of unmet needs is suffering. This is a condition of all things that are alive.
So all evil is, is the lack of a requirement we have to exist. If you need evil to be something more than that, the question is not what or why is there evil in the world. But, what is it for you, that evil explains the need for?
The idea space of evil can be used to provide choice, meaning and direction. Thus evil can be both good and bad.
Let’s release ourselves from dichotomy and see the world in colour my friends. 🌈
