At a certain college, 
there was a professor 
with a reputation 
for being tough on 
Christians.  At the 
first class every 
semester, he asked if 
anyone was a Christian 
and proceeded 
to degrade and mock 
their statement of faith.
        
One semester, he asked 
the question and a young man raised his hand when asked 
if anyone was a Christian.  
The professor asked, "Did God make everything, young man?"
 
"Yes he did, sir," the young man replied.

The professor responded, "If God made everything, then 
God made evil, and if we can only create from within 
ourselves, then God is evil."

The student didn't have a response and the professor 
was happy to have once again proved the Christian faith 
to be a myth.Then another man raised his hand and asked, 
"May I ask you something, sir?"
        
"Yes you may," responded the professor.
        
The young man stood up and said, "Sir, is there such 
thing as cold?"

Of course there is, what kind of a question is that?  
Haven't you ever been cold?"
       
The young man replied, "Actually, sir, cold does not 
exist. What we consider to be cold, is really only 
the absence of heat.  Absolute zero is when there is 
absolutely no heat, but cold does not really exist.
We have only created that term to describe how we 
feel when heat is not there."
The young man continued, "Sir, is there such thing as 
dark?"Once again, the professor responded "Of course 
there is."And once again, the student replied 
"Actually, sir, darkness does not exist.  Darkness is 
really only the absence of light.  Darkness is only a 
term man developed to describe what happens when there 
is no light present."
        
Finally, the young man asked, "Sir, is there such thing 
as evil?"
        
The professor responded, "Of course. We have rapes, and 
murders and violence everywhere in the world, those 
things are evil." The student replied, "Actually, sir, 
evil does not exist.  Evil is simply the absence of God.

Evil is a term man developed to describe the absence of 
God.  God did not create evil.  It isn't like truth, or 
love, which exist as virtues like heat and light.  Evil 
is simply the state where God is not present, like cold 
without heat or darkness without light."

The professor had nothing to say.
