	G-d is Neutral.  The Laws of Nature may be Laws but they are
	neutral too, right?  Nobody questions about the existence of
	good and peace etc, but regarding evil: I just finished a
	study of Job.  According to some VERY serious interpretations
	(that follow Aristotlean philosophy) the text reveals that
	evil was not created by G-d.  It crept in.  Satan, the Evil Eye,
	"The Devil made me do it" are all the same thing.  Without
	them there wouldn't be Free Will, a major concern from G-d's
	point of view and mine too.
