Well thanks everyone - I was really interested in everything you all said!
As far as I'm concerned - 'bad; is where people get hurt. And not in the case of a squirrel grabbed by a marten. because that HAS to happen. but in the case of people getting hurt through something that is incomprehensible. e.g. disease, disaster etc.

Something else i have just remembered, I once read a book (a kids book - but with a good point) about a pair of twins. one was pure good and one was pure evil, in the end the good twin prevailed, but to do this she had to destroy the evil twin, and in doing this (the very act of destroying) she was no longer pure good. (and in the story she was then a normal kid - yay)
So maybe God is something like this. I dunno.

Or maybe, jOhn, he just forgot.
