We are often taught that God represents absolute good while the Devil is the ultimate villain.

If an all-powerful and all-good God governs the world, these contradictions naturally raise difficult questions. This does not make the Devil morally right. Like Thanos in Avengers, someone may recognise a genuine problem while proposing a cruel and unacceptable solution. The real question is whether questioning suffering and injustice is wrong, or whether the danger lies in the answers we choose.
