There are other reasons

Do you mean in the sense of having two opposites, ie the existence of opposites gives each one meaning?

How do you know evil?

I suppose that to know what evil is, you'd have to have good.

Islam tells the brain to the right

You mean the right hemisphere of the brain? I don't understand what you mean.

You mean that god created evil but doesn't like evil? I guess that makes sense.

1 - not good, not evil
Religion tells us correct good
2 - God created evil, but does not like

As opposed to the incorrect good? And yeah, I know the first thing I do when I want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is spread brown mustard on the bread. Makes sense for god to do the same. Facepalm

Same tired BS as always.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
