The Problem of Evil, Obedience, and Clarity
The problem of “evil” (I.E.
upos:
“up from under”)
is a classic philosophical
problem—maybe psychological.
Theologians don’t have a
problem with evil—but rather
an explanation, reason-why, because & affect.
Original
Spin: Human nature. Bad
boys! Bad boys! It’s the denial
and cover up that generates the bozone layer.
There is only obedience
but it can’t be said—ridiculous
to the savvy and offensive
to the conscientious. “Obey
my butt! Who do you think
you are?” Who do I think
I am? Mum’s the word.
Shameless: To make things
perfectly or even approximately
somewhat clear is a
convenience and a convention but also
a violent criminal reduction of the whole if not holy —getting
away with murder and no wonder
I feel debt, owing a guilty
thorn in the flesh, pea
under the mattresses that will never be
assuaged contradiction and
paradox not with standing. I talk
out of 3 sides of my mouth
best I can but can’t do justice. This
is ridiculous to the savvy
and offensive to the conscientious.
No doubt.
