How is the Buddhist position that there simply is
nothing
like the usual version of the Christian God a
narrative
evasion?
It is attempting to account for evil by situating
it in the narrator's ignorance of emptiness. So in
literary terms, the Buddhist narrative is like a
fantasy that turns out, at the end of the story,
to have been a "just a dream."
