Having a converse with Syed. He feels, as do many, that we and everything in the universe are simply part of God. (His plan, creation, etc.) If that is the case, then the question remains...Why is God (all parts) at war with some of his other parts? If God created evil, as well as the good, why does God feel there is value in having the two sides fight one another, instead of simply taking care of the problem by another means.
