Why did god create evil?

So, Tango, you feel that the Hun and Po of the Chinese came from ... ? The Native American Ni and Nagi?

.
You are asking me this because I wrote… what exactly?

I'm arguing against evidence? Wow, and here I was thinking that I was arguing against your interpretation and the conclusions you drew from it.

.
There is neither interpretation nor conclusions involved here. You doubted the belief of the Egyptians in the soul and I furnished proof that they did.

My culture? If you're referring to say, the christian tradition.....that was forced upon "my culture" through military and political pressure, backed up by domestic coercion and torture (to the tune of about 1,000 years worth).

.
Well, Christianity is nobody’s culture and it has been raping “my culture” for 1600 years. I am asking for your native culture and where did it get the idea of soul from.

Ironic, since they already believed in a "soul" though definitely not the christian version.

.
What version then? What do you know about it?

Nothing about the home grown beliefs of any culture I'm descended from have anything to do with Egypt, Greece, Rome, or Christianity.

.
Mine has. It got the idea of the immortal soul from the Egyptians. The ancient Greeks did not believe in such nonsense. Everything in the Greek tradition about Netherworld, afterlife, and immortal souls came directly out of the Egyptian texts. The spiritual gods were the product of the imagination of idealist philosophers taught in Egypt too.

Nor does the idea of a "soul" find it's only refuge in any of these traditions, as we've been preparing ourselves for the afterlife for more than 30,000 years and across the entire globe.

.
I am not –preparing- and therefore... some evidence, please?

The near east has tons of history, but it doesn't have any exclusivity on the past. It's not as though nothing was happening in the americas, australia, northern europe, the far east, south africa, or the pacific islands.

.
Sub-Saharan Africans excluded, we all come from the Near East, like it or not.

We hear this shit from christians all the time about their favorite myths as well. Ask Statler what he thinks, lol. I've been willing to offer you more compromise than you'll get if you try to publish your paper anywhere but a blog, and if you want to do that, you'll need more than what you've shown us.

.
Oh, you hear from Christians all the time that their idea of Judgment comes right out of the Egyptian texts, that the word “Amen” they use to close their prayers with is actually an invocation of the name of the Egyptian god Amen and that Yahweh was originally born into the Egyptian temples as Amen-Re!!

As for publishing my work in a blog, I can do no better but, still, I am happy because although you reject my theory it is crazy enough and you’ll not forget it.
