Great - a solid definition! See? All that trouble and upset could so have been avoided so easily! Right, so sin is some action against God's will (and apparently is synonymous with evil, or at least comparable with it). Okay.
1. How can anything happen contrary to God's will?
2. Doesn't that make sin totally dependent on the existence of God and the correct understanding of its character? Put another way, if God were to be removed from the picture, sin would disappear forever. Why then does God not make itself cease to exist and thus destroy sin?
All assuming that "God" actually exists, obviously.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
