the evil design by Divine

Let’s, for a moment, assume that our world is designed by a supreme, almighty deity, Divine for short. Then, the difference between right and wrong, good and bad, is also revealed to us by Divine. And we see and we go through a lot of wrong and bad in our lives, pains and sufferings, sins, a lot of evils, all designed by Divine. Why is She doing this? I wouldn’t expect anything like that from Her even if She is He or none from above.

Further, let’s assume that Her design is intelligent. Then, the wrong and bad are created on purpose, they are intelligently wrong and intelligently bad. We can’t assume intelligent "oops" in Her design, don’t we? But why is evil so deeply rooted in Her creation blueprint? For instance, why She created life and then guided it into such brutal surviving strategy called evolution? Our own position on the evolution- ary tree indicates the lack of intelligence in Her design.

In recount, hence, the above assumptions of the Devine intelligent design are hard to accept without challenging. The argument against Devine is twofold: (1) Devine fails to prevent the evils, the pain and sufferings of Her creations; (2) Devine herself perpetrates evil. Actually, (1) is quite perceivable in the frame of (2).

Now, I don’t see even a remotely logical possibility that Divine exists. How, though, should I cope with religious people I like and/or have to communicate? It takes an effort to constrain myself, quite an effort in my inflexible attitude. By the record, I don’t do it well, there are skeletons along the way.
