If
all is God, then not only all good but all evil is also God. The only way out
of this dilemma is simply to deny that evil exists, as the Christian Scientist
does. Mary Baker Eddy wrote:
If God, or good, is real, then evil, the unlikeness of God,
is unreal .... We learn in Christian Science that all in harmony of mortal mind
or body is illusion, possessing neither reality nor identity though seeming to
be real and identical... Man is incapable of sin, sickness, and death.3
