>>3620584If Lain doesn't like it, she has the power to stop it at any time. Lain offers an interesting out to the problem of evil but she still doesn't answer it entirely IMO.
>Can Lain prevent evil?Maybe. We don't know the extent of her powers.
>Does Lain know about all the evil?Maybe. See above, and she never claims to be all-knowing.
>Does Lain want to prevent evil?Maybe.
>Why is there evil?Lain believes that the world is better off without her, and based on the extremely limited information we are given, this *appears* to be true, but I don't buy it. Why did she let me suffer when I begged her to end it? Does she believe the world is better with my suffering in it? Belief in a non-interventionist god is absolutely pointless.
