I'll drink to that!
I do think that one must be able to see evil in order to see good, otherwise the duality is overlooked or dismissed as karma or human nature. I will not say that at birth human nature is inherent good or bad, I don't know, but I can see how it evolves in directions that individual decisions shape further paths and decisions which then collectively show patterns where results have been ither positive of negative on others. Good and bad, in my opinion, is related to that.
Having said all of that, I have known certain people who believe in thngs similar to witchcraft and they know I am a Christian. Since I am not the run of the mill Christian we have a great time together discussin potions and communion and the such but I would not consider them bad people, only lost (according to me).
But who is to say that? All I have is my faith that tells me I am better than them, isn't that some sort of circular reasoning?
I think it is much better to accept people and embrace them so that our testimony will be more powerful than theirs and they will wnat what we have. I'd say that goodness must be close to that and evil must be the opposite, when we reject others and dismiss them.
Do you think this is possibly so?
