1. Absolute value

   In mathematics, the absolute value or modulus of a real number x {\displaystyle x} , denoted | x | {\displaystyle |x|} , is the non-negative value of x {\displaystyle x} without regard to its sign. Namely, | x | = x {\displaystyle |x|=x} if x {\displaystyle x} is a positive number, and | x | = − x {\displaystyle |x|=-x} if x {\displaystyle x} is negative (in which case negating x {\displaystyle x} makes − x {\displaystyle -x} positive), and | 0 | = 0 {\displaystyle |0|=0} . For example, the absolute value of 3 is 3, and the absolute value of −3 is also 3. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero. Generalisations of the absolute value for real numbers occur in a wide variety of mathematical settings. For example, an absolute value is also defined for the complex numbers, the quaternions, ordered rings, fields and vector spaces. The absolute value is closely related to the notions of magnitude, distance, and norm in various mathematical and physical contexts.

4. Ryan Pack:

   God: God created the world, God knew the sum total, he knew the absolute value, of how the world was going to be, God does minimal to nothing to stop the malice, injustices, and cruelty. God rejects justice meaning he doesn't properly and appropriately penalize those who deserve to be punished and he doesn't protect and defend those who deserve to be secured. When I look at these harsh realities, my rational thinking activates, and makes me believe that God is pure evil.
