Our hearts also grieved with yours at Beslan. What has God to do with evil and evil men? Evil men are responsible for their own crimes. They inflict harm on the innocent because they are cowards without conscience. Why do evil men not perform evil in the name of Evil? Evil men may blame God and do evil in His name, but God is not mocked by their evil, nor responsible. God would be the author of conscience; evil is the absence of conscience. Your Fyodor Dostoyevsky wrote, "Without God, all things are permissible." Evil men without God seem to prove Dostoyevsky correct. I am not preaching God; merely sharing a thought. If I share too much, just ask me to be silent for a while.
