Worthy read. I have read a great deal about the thoughts along these lines. I must say that I don't see it quite as simply, which shouldn't be a surprise. 
Where the internet is concerned I try not to take on personal implication, though some of that might in fact be healthy, certainly where there inhabits a seemingly impervious faith and worldview. I personally feel that all thoughts and beliefs can be impervious to a point where life lessons in terms of love and hate are glaringly apparent. 
It would seem then that logic or reason as juxtaposed to the porous notions of unconditional LOVE is irreconcilable when the worlds collide and the Earth is trashed by people who claim to love it and love other people.
Having been called everything from a closet liberal to a fence sitter to a hate enabler and adept at deflecting the ignorant assumptions, I have, in my life,  found plenty of cause for internal examination.
Perhaps more thoughts later. Thanks Richard.

so, why does the devil/wrong exist?

I always found the devil lies in the details

Marvin said it best when he sang "only love can conquer hate".
