Since we're supposed to live in his eyes, why are men so evil? Is it moral evil? Since we have free will, maybe evil is created by humans......

And the reason that its hard to believe/have faith in something we cant prove is a simple concept. We base our knowledge of preceptions that are confirmed with other perceptions on a daily basis. By looking at my chair, I know its a chair. Its a daily occurence. But you cant do that with religion simply because it cant be confirmed the way other things are.
