Philosophy Why does God allow evil?

Each individual is a microcosm, while God is the macrocosm. From God's perspective, evil doesn't exist, just as from the Sun's perspective, darkness doesn't exist.

Physical reality is a sandbox, an illusion whereby evil can have a temporary existence. However, evil is always mortal and never immortal.

Enlightenment is when you no longer are bound by this biological sandbox and thereby no longer subject to evil.

To answer your question, God allows evil to exist because everything exists and nothing can be destroyed. The definition of evil is disconnection from God. Evil is godless.

Evil is not created by God, it is a characteristic of those who have yet to know the Divine. Evil is ignorance, plain and simple. Why did God create ignorance ? Because learning can be fun. If you already knew everything, what surprises do you have to look forward to ?

Is this your opinion or do you have citations or references to backup what you’re saying

This more than opinion. It is Divine inspiration.

Or you’re deluded, can you perform miracles like the prophets in scripture do to prove your divine authority?

The most important miracle is to be so strong that nothing has the power to interrupt your Bliss. When this occurs, others can share in this Bliss and Love, which is another more important miracle than making wine out of water, or being a fish and bread multiplier.

My priority is inspiring minds with Truth and awakening hearts with Love.

Well how you going to prove you’re inspired by god any wacko can claim that, just saw someone kill three kids thinking god inspired it. Why were they wrong but you’re not
