They can inflict pain on each other but not physical damage. They fight each other and inflict pain on each other. Now is it possible that part of their "goodness" is to hate each other and inflict pain on each other, for no reason but for sake of hate and inflicting pain? And that it's "evil" to love and have compassion for one another? Those whom decide to help one another, try to live in peace, not inflict pain each other are being "evil"? While those inflicting pain on each other are being "good"? Can the Creator create goodness and evil, in this sense? Or is it impossible?
I say it's impossible. Let me know your thoughts.
You mean something like some MMORPG's where the "created" intelligent beings are constantly engaged in battle? Where your skill and proficiency are determined by how much damage you have inflicted on others and a good player is one with the greatest number of kills? Where the entire point of your existence is to kill-destroy-conquer-annihilate in a manner that would be unacceptable in this world?
Huh, I guess it is possible.
