I am pretty sure I know what "Evil" is and I am pretty sure that there are certain organizations and political parties that not only embrace, promote, and spread evil but try to encourage and force others into their wickedness. Thus, the war for our children's bodies, minds, and souls.
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that count darkness as light, and light as darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Forcing others into anything at all, wicked or not, against their will is inherently evil.
God allows the sun to shine on the righteous and wicked alike - what makes mere mortals superior to God? Why should we be able to force anyone into anything, when God Itself does not?
No one but God has a monopoly on "good" Certainly not mortals. If mortals could discern "good" from "evil", Christianity would not have 400 separate denominations, all set against one another... because what one denomination sees as "good", another sees as "evil", and they are endlessly at odds over the differences. Some times I wonder if they are even worshiping the same God - and if they are, why can't they agree on what is good and what isn't?
Yet all of them think THEY have the one and only answer to good and evil, that their own path is the one and only path to the One True God.
And God laughs at them for their folly and lack of understanding.
If Jesus himself said "Why callest thou me good? There is none good,no, not one, except my father in heaven" Then I for one am supremely unqualified to determine absolute good and evil. I would not usurp the position of God by even trying to.
