No one questions why hydrogen exists; we simply accept it.
Why don't we accept that things like evil exist, just like hydrogen?

There's no reason for hydrogen to exist; it simply exists, and nobody questions why. The same goes for evil; there's no reason for it to exist… It's simply exists

There is pure and simple evil like necrophilia, which is repulsive in basically all cultures.

And objectively, we'll never find answers because there's no reason to ask. It simply exists, and that's it.

Physics explains how it works and how it came about, but not "why this exist's?"

>>2771601Yes it explains why the hydrogen atom exists, due to the weak and strong nuclear forces. But these would have never been discovered if we first hadnt asked why does the atom exist.

I'm not asking "why does it exist?" I'm simply stating that there's no explanation for why it came into existence, what reason is behind it; it simply exist.

>>2771610I have read other works in the similar category, mainly by NWF. I don't agree with it entirely of course, mainly due to it's very high emphasis on racial conflict. I don't really believe that "races" as large groupings exist (ie. white, black, asian etc), but instead that ethnicities are what we really belong to (ie. German, French, Russian, Han Chinese, Coptic etc) and that has historically been the case. The Orthodox churches are after all national churches. The violence part is completely inline with actual Christianity, not whatever modern subverted evangelicalism is. Although violence for the sake of violence, suicide attacks (or mass shootings, stabbings etc), attacking random people are not.

I ask you the same question: Why ask about these things?
â„–2771697[Quote]

There are certain questions that don't make sense to ask, such as: "What's north of the North Pole?" "What number comes after infinity?"
â„–2771734[Quote]
>>2771725Yeah but the questions that you gave examples for are nonsensical by definition, by definition there is nothing north of the north pole, but it makes sense to ask why is there evil on this world, surely you have to admit that these are entirely different in their nature.

I can understand the question of "what makes it exist?" But not "why does this exist" - because that's absurd by definition, it just exists.
Constantly reflecting on this will never lead to a satisfactory and objective answer.
