The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
So, let me get this straight: God created wickedness just so he could squash it?
Doesn't life in the Christian worldview seem a bit like running the gauntlet? Cursed before taking your first breath because some other guy screwed up. Sounds perfectly moral to me.

We have lingered in the chambers of the sea | By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown | Till human voices wake us, and we drown. — T.S. Eliot
"... man always has to decide for himself in the darkness, that he must want beyond what he knows. ..." — Simone de Beauvoir
"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"
