From the supplier: Abel's murder by Cain is not a consequence of the urging of some unknown but devious god but as a result of Cain's own nature. Jewish and Christian scriptures acknowledge that man can commit every conceivable act of wickedness. Cain's dastardly deed as well as similar other accounts contained in the bible posits the question of how the soul's dark side got there in the first place. This is quite puzzling since God created man in His own likeness and pronounced what He had created as 'very good.'
