All I am saying is that in creating a universe in which a being with free will is given a moral code, G-d created a situation that makes rebellion, and therefore evil, possible. Evil is not an exnihilation by an evil counterpart of G-d. It is in the sense I have described built into the creation.
If your dogmatic theology insists on a war between a "good god" and an "evil god," then there is no need dialoguing with you further.
If you insist that "things just happen" or that "the devil" controls the weather, then you aren't even a monotheist.
