There is no purpose for/of evil. It is insanity; an anomaly; an outlier. It doesn't belong. Christians tend to portray the struggle between good and evil as a zero-sum equation, with evil on one side and good on the other side of a vertical dividing line, separating a horizontal line that...

Before you do anything rash... DIG THIS!

My dad tells me I'm in a cult all the time. We laugh about it.

I must admit, I have a very well-established preconceived idea that before I was born, I didn't exist. I knew a popular preacher at one time who used to say: "Try not to be so open-minded that your brain falls out!" :p ;), indeed.
