It comes down to, basically, that I'm fine with a cosmic good--in fact, I believe in it/one--but the thought of a cosmic evil is frightening, because what if it's too powerful to resist? The absence of goodness, that I'm okay with--because I see it, and I know how to deal with it (add goodness!), and the banality of evil, evil as laziness, as petty corruption, as greed, as sadism, even--those things I can deal with (conceptually, anyway) because I understand them. But cosmic evil? I don't want there to be such a thing.

The universe, alas, does not arrange itself to suit my whims.
