re: #71 Slumbering Behemoth

Sorry. You mentioned that “Darkness is not the opposite of light, it is the absence of light”. and that is an Augustinian viewpoint. Augustine of Hippo saw evil as a privation and not an actual thing. He was largely neo-Platonic in his views, though with important differences. Good is real. Evil is the absence of the real. All evil is a distortion of the ultimate reality that is good. If you want a further discussion, click on my email.
