The question of Good & Evil in this world..

Be it the recent, mall shooting rampage in Omaha or the murder of two Indian students at Louisiana State University campus or other such gruesome events reported almost every day; When ever such things happen, two very 'undeniable realities of life', Evil & Death come into focus and become 'very real' and close to us at least for some time. Not a day seems to pass without being touched by this 'evil' or at least hearing of somebody else being touched by it in one form or the other; evil ranging from a mean/hurting comment by a colleague to an actual torture or murder.

Does evil have a meaning? Why do we have to put up with it? What brought evil into our lives?

Here is a very short video of an interview with Ravi Zacharias where he addresses a question "If there is a God, how can He allow evil in this world?"

Interesting! Logically... even 'evil' seems to point towards God.



Here's another venue where the same question is asked on what I believe is a college campus. Length: ~7min.




Click here for the mp3 audio from his talks (about Evil & Suffering) @ Virginia Tech. a few months after the massacre, where 32 people were killed (including a lecturer form India) and several others were wounded.

An open forum with Ravi Zacharias was held on Oct. 9th and 10th on the campus of Virginia Tech. Over the 2-night event, an estimated 7000 people heard Dr. Zacharias bring powerful messages on the hope and love that are found through Jesus Christ.
