it seems there was a human who was pestered by mosquitoes and he knew that mosquitoes were bad for humans - it seems mosquitoes knew humans were good for mosquitoes - along came some house lizards that were bad for humans and mosquitoes,they caught and ate the mosquitoes whivh was good for humans but not so good for mosquitoes who were not so good for humans but good for lizards - twinc

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Good and Bad ?

Take time for granite.
Then god thought he'd mix things up a bit and introduce a little guy we call Plasmodium, just to mess with us.

Arnold Poindexter: So what you're saying essentially is, is that along with infinite space which extends beyond perpetual bigness there's also infinite smallness?
Harold Wormser: [nods head in agreement]
Arnold Poindexter: How?
Harold Wormser: Easy. Take an asymptotic line and extend it outward.
Arnold Poindexter: Oh.
Stewart: Right, right, right. So perpetual bigness exists simultaneously with perpetual smallness. What was I thinking?
Ogre: What if uh C-A-T really spelled dog?
Arnold Poindexter: Wow.
Harold Wormser: God.
Stewart: Yeah.
Arnold Poindexter: That's heavy Ogre. Dog.

You're mixing your myths up, but I'll answer your rhetorical question in kind.
Why would god/Zeus put all the bad things in this world into a box, give us mere mortals a key, then command us to not unlock it?
For someone who has everything under control, doesn't sound as if it's under control.

I thought that the Roman Catholic Church was opposed to moral relativism.

If there were no mosquito's, there would be no lizards, if there were no lizards, there would be no humans. If there were no humans, there would be no bad. Would that be good?

Positively valeneced experience of animals. I think that is part of the historical foundation of ehtics. We have just tried to theorise about it, a unique capacity of manking afaik.

People say "its all relative".
I say "its absolutely relative".
If there is even one situation where what is absolute plays no role, a fool would recommend you go out and buy a lottery ticket.

God, in His wisdom, gives us the pesky mosquito for two reasons. First is the idea of preventing wholesale outbreaks of disease by carrying small amounts of new things to each person or animal that it bites. We benefit much more often than not. Second the mosquito reminds us of the harsh living conditions on earth. This is good because we are prompted to be on our best behaviour all the time in case we die unexpectedly and have to answer for all those mosquitoes that we swatted.
