Esta es probablemente la mejor respuesta que he escuchado a la pregunta: “¿Por qué creó Dios el mal?”
Un profesor de la universidad hizo a sus alumnos la siguiente pregunta: “¿Todo lo que existe fue creado por Dios?”
Un estudiante respondió valientemente: “Sí, creado por Dios”.
“¿Dios creó todo?” preguntó el profesor.
“Sí, señor”, respondió el estudiante.
El profesor preguntó: “Si Dios creó todo, entonces Dios creó el mal ya que existe. Y según el principio de que nuestras acciones nos definen a nosotros mismos, entonces Dios es malo”.
El estudiante se quedó en silencio después de escuchar tal respuesta. El profesor estaba muy satisfecho consigo mismo. Se jactó ante los estudiantes de haber demostrado una vez más que la fe en Dios es un mito.
Otro estudiante levantó la mano y dijo: “¿Puedo hacerle una pregunta, profesor?”
“Por supuesto”, respondió el profesor.
El estudiante se levantó y preguntó: “Profesor, ¿tiene frío?”
“¿Qué clase de pregunta? Por supuesto que existe. ¿Alguna vez has tenido frío?
Los estudiantes se rieron ante la pregunta del joven. El joven respondió: “En realidad, señor, el frío no existe. Según las leyes de la física, lo que consideramos frío es en realidad la ausencia de calor. Se puede estudiar si una persona u objeto tiene o transmite energía.
“El cero absoluto (-460 grados Fahrenheit) es una ausencia total de calor. Toda la materia se vuelve inerte y incapaz de reaccionar a esta temperatura. El frío no existe. Creamos esta palabra para describir lo que sentimos en ausencia de calor”.
El estudiante continuó: “Profesor, ¿existe la oscuridad?”
“Por supuesto que existe”.
“Se equivoca de nuevo, señor. La oscuridad tampoco existe. La oscuridad es en realidad la ausencia de luz. Podemos estudiar la luz pero no la oscuridad. Podemos usar el prisma de Newton para difundir la luz blanca en múltiples colores y explorar las diferentes longitudes de onda de cada color. No se puede medir la oscuridad. Un simple rayo de luz puede irrumpir en el mundo de la oscuridad e iluminarlo. ¿Cómo puedes saber qué tan oscuro es un determinado espacio? Mides cuánta luz hay presente. ¿No es así? Oscuridad es un término que el hombre usa para describir lo que sucede en ausencia de luz”.
Al final, el joven preguntó al profesor: “Señor, ¿existe el mal?”
Esta vez era incierto, el profesor respondió: “Por supuesto, como dije antes. Lo vemos todos los días. Crueldad, numerosos crímenes y violencia en todo el mundo. Estos ejemplos no son más que una manifestación del mal”.
A esto el estudiante respondió: “El mal no existe, señor, o al menos no existe por sí mismo. El mal es simplemente la ausencia de Dios. Es como oscuridad y frío: una palabra creada por el hombre para describir la ausencia de Dios. Dios no creó el mal. El mal no es fe ni amor, que existe como luz y calor. El mal es el resultado de la ausencia del amor Divino en el corazón humano. Es el tipo de frío que surge cuando no hay calor, o el tipo de oscuridad que surge cuando no hay luz”.
It’s amazing how complicated the Civil War is. Having grown up in the “south” (AKA Northern Virginia), we learned a lot about it and I still would not claim to actually understand why it happened. But I am not proud of its legacy and the division it has wrought.

Any person so egregiously ignorant of our nation’s history should never, EVER be voted into a position of power.

For the record: Robert E Lee said, more or less, “don’t put up a statue of me or other confederates.”
General Robert E. Lee was a misunderstood man he loved his family and state and cared for many people he may have fought for the confederate states and a slavery state he fought for his soldiers the poor peasants and not the 1% who owned slaves he wanted to defend the rights of his motherland by the corruption of the federal government. I believe he was a brave revolutionary and hero and yet he is obviously hated because he fought for the so-called slave state, and everyone loves to hate so they hate him because they say the civil war was about slavery. Only 1% of people had slaves it was about the south being abused by the federal government the 1% of slave owners would’ve deteriorated but if America thought it was evil and such a problem the founding fathers should’ve handled it earlier to get it out the way. All y’all snowflakes out there pick up a damn history book and stop listening to the government and the teachers teaching you to hate because he was by far a man of love dignity and honor that loved his great motherland and defended his peasant soldiers from the corrupt greedy government. Long live Robert E Lee!
Lee was an absolutely great General, no doubt about It, but also a man who fought for a nation that championed the ” peculiar institution” of Slavery, and who turned a blind eye to the atrocities his Generals were doing during his leadership, such as the kidnapping of free Black people , who were taken from their homes and sold into slavery in the South while his Army of Norther Virginia invaded the North.
Lincoln: If I could save the nation by freeing all the slaves I would do that. And if I could save it by keeling them in slavery, I would also do that. And if it could be saved by freeing some and keeping others in slavery, I would do that, too.
Secession is nothing but revolution. The framers of our Constitution never exhausted so much labor, wisdom and forbearance in its formation, and surrounded it with so many guards and securities, if it was intended to be broken by every member of the Confederacy at will.

There are three things that make Genl. R. Lee was worthy of respect.
1. His Loyalty and dedication to 2. His men, his State, and his adopted Country, and 3. His lack of vindictiveness and adherence to Principles and Honor.
Except for some uncertain element of complicity in the punishment of his father-in-law’s slaves – it seems to me there was nothing either dishonourable or unpatriotic in the career of Lee.
He chose – once the necessity to choose became unavoidable – to fight alongside his friends, family and neighbours – as I am certain most of us today would have also chosen to do.
And now, those who have NO proud role in either the defence of their nation, or their way of life, foam at the mouth over occasional statues, and seek to write him out of history.
Such is the way that small inadequate people get to feel better about their own inadequate status.
Hypocrisy is a very cheap and cowardly vice.

I think Lee was indifferent to that topic
Is disgusting to find out that people today defend this man
It’s amazing how complicated the Civil War is. Having grown up in the “south” (AKA Northern Virginia), we learned a lot about it and I still would not claim to actually understand why it happened. But I am not proud of its legacy and the division it has wrought.

They all needed at least a 3-week prescription on psychedelics just like today’s politicians and military psychopaths.
General Robert E. Lee was a misunderstood man he loved his family and state and cared for many people he may have fought for the confederate states and a slavery state he fought for his soldiers the poor peasants and not the 1% who owned slaves he wanted to defend the rights of his motherland by the corruption of the federal government.

I corrected obviously tainted information, and you have proven everything I stated about you.
Lee was an absolutely great General, no doubt about It, but also a man who fought for a nation that championed the ” peculiar institution” of Slavery, and who turned a blind eye to the atrocities his Generals were doing during his leadership, such as the kidnapping of free Black people , who were taken from their homes and sold into slavery in the South while his Army of Norther Virginia invaded the North.
He freed his wife’s slaves after she inherited them.
It didn’t imply at all that Lee was an abolitionist. He wasn’t at all whatsoever.
Lincoln: If I could save the nation by freeing all the slaves I would do that. And if I could save it by keeling them in slavery, I would also do that. And if it could be saved by freeing some and keeping others in slavery, I would do that, too.
Tout homme qui possédait des esclaves est un monstre. Quiconque dit le contraire est un raciste.
You can’t judge the actions of the past through a modern perspective.
I disagree
Secession is nothing but revolution. The framers of our Constitution never exhausted so much labor, wisdom and forbearance in its formation, and surrounded it with so many guards and securities, if it was intended to be broken by every member of the Confederacy at will.

Who knows what he was thinking?
I live in Virginia. so, I know a good bit about the history here, but always great to learn more.
Gracias por una biografía interesante.
