It sure does feel like there is an evil in the world and that the good people aren't reacting well to it, nor fighting it in an effective way. So let's start by defining the evil. The evil I see in the world is a cult of people who seek an illusary afterlife and believe that by killing non-believers in their religion, they can achieve that afterlife, as well as their earthly goals. They don't value life and therefore see no problem with taking life, even if it is innocent life. Stop right here. You didn't complete your definition. Then there is the part of the evil that thinks that by blowing up innocent people in retaliation it will solve the problem. Jesus taught us that killing is evil and never solves any problems. Then the good people are reacting to it with ever increasing spirals of violence, which feeds on the evil people's cause, because it helps them recruit by making their situation worse, which leads their target recruits to hate the good people and their values even more. Actually, the good people are on the sidelines yelling stop you're killing each other........Jesus abhors killing. But the evil people are making so many grunting noises while they are killing they can't hear the good people nor do they want to. That is the problem with evil. People don't really believe in evil, but it is insidious and once it takes hold, it's like cancer and it's very hard to eradicate and keep the host alive at the same time. Yes, that's why this upcoming election is very important.
