53. Yep, because God loves stupid people
Even though He made brains He doesn't want people to use them.
Evil is a human construct. It is relative to time and culture among other things. In the old testament God tells David to commit genocide. Evil? Sounds like it to me, but another culture can justify it.
Some people think all sorts of things are evil. Gay sex is evil to fundies. Not evil to others. Koreans think eating dogs is fine. We Westerners would think it's evil. When we get people who believe that they alone define evil via their interpretation of some book we call them fundies. Most of us think they have a screw loose. Luckily we live in a society where human law takes precedence over whatever belief system is prevalent at the time. I hope it stays that way.
