Maybe god does prevent Evil and the Universe is totally just and fair. The problem is humans thinking their version of Evil is the correct one. Maybe.

    If good, evil and god were phenomena that could be observed directly then we’d understand better through that.

    And that is arguably the case. I mean, the literature is full of god-sightings. And people have feelings of good and evil too.

      It’s interesting to consider the definition of real in that sense then, because many experiences do not have an objective cause, or at least not one that directly correlates to the subjective experience.

      God, evil, ghosts, happiness. They’re real In the sense that we can experience them, however, the shared understanding largely comes from an internal place, a necessary agreement of experience with the concepts of its objects.
