Radio Flyerb Yes, I think that is most correct.

When I talk with those of Jewish faith, those asking "those" types of questions esp. the one What is hell? That is my direct answer: the absence of God.

But I cannot believe that my God created anything bad...or evil. That took someone, something apart from God. Actually, the way I believe is that God made all things good. Satan took it and formed it for his evil ways. And I think this is borne out in reality? Look at anything that is evil (so to speak) and you will find at the base of it, the original good.
