What are you, Calvinist? God's elect?? What in the world has your preaching got to do with the justification of evil? Nothing. Don't preach to me and please try to stick to the topic.

I've stuck to the topic just fine, thank you. You just don't like my slant on it. I think you are presumptuous to place God on trial. That He gives evil slack in it's chain from time to time is His sovereign right. It is my point that it is also within His rights to severe the chain entirely but He has chosen not to. Let's face it... none of us has delved into the absolute depths of our own depravity. Not Hitler, not the random serial killer, nobody. Something restrains us. Call it what you want, social constraints, whatever, I call it God's sovereign will. The point is that evil is still constrained.

I'd bet that you didn't even read the scripture I quoted.
