Perhaps without evil, there is no good.

Whether there is or is not a God as a separate being, we clearly have a certain power, and what we do with it is our choice. For example, when an industrial nation gives maniacal politicians unlimited power, things like World War 2 and the Holocaust tend to happen. God didn't kill those people, other humans did. Why should God be responsible for stopping the evils of humanity either? Who are we to question the motivations of God? Maybe God specifically gave us the power to do good or evil as we will. If he's out there, he could be trying to send us a message. And if he's not, we simply have no one else to blame.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
