The problem of evil

"God does not punish evil because God knows that without Knowledge evil will arise. God will not send anyone into hell and damnation because God knows that without Knowledge, people will be in error and will make grievous mistakes, even criminal acts, for they are governed by fear and anger, not the grace of Knowledge."

"God is not the author of evil but God created an environment where evil, at least amongst intelligent races who are aware of their own mortality, will be likely and inevitable. But God has given the antidote to evil, a powerful antidote. It is placed within you in the power and presence of Knowledge, a deeper mind within you."
