"The fact that in order to exist, God had to defeat nothingness and vanquish evil, that is, put aside the negative, leaves a trace of negativity in him, albeit ineffective and inoperative, as if something remained unresolved and still pending. One has the impression that nothingness is still lurking, like a constant threat, and that latent and dormant evil could reawaken. Negativity and evil are present in God as possibilities that were foreseen but discarded, and therefore now forgotten and irrelevant."
