Can you prove that you have a soul?  Can you prove that you are supernatural?  I don't know if I have a soul, is it listed on the warranty?

We were discussing Satan and evil.  Satan doesn't exist.  Evil, well, I guess that depends on how you define it.  I think that the things that people do are done out of ignorance, not necessarily a "here and now" ignorance, but more of an ignorance of the larger picture and who they are/where they are/whythey are in relationship to their Creator.  People were given free-will, sometimes in our exercise of that free-will we do things that hurt others.  As it says in the Bible: As you sow, that also shall you reap.  As we reap what we have sown we come to understand better who and what we are, our ignorance is not evil.

Easier I think to talk about sin.  The only sin in a free-will Universe would be abrogating the free-will of someone else.  Go ahead and see if you can think of a sin that a person can do that doesn't fit that definition.
