a good evil paradox

Apologies, David. This threw me and whilst I got it, taking it literally, I know you would have meant so much more. I gave it some thought and conjured with politicians, AI, the human condition and then my brain went bang. Alas, I’m off to bed, where I’ll lie awake pondering your words… that’s just me… thanks for that ;-)

Dear David, this is deeply thought provoking and very soulful, comes from a deep place i can tell, and has a philosophical touch to it too, i was there once upon a moon and i think i can agree with this “ the source of all evil is twisting good” which i think and can grasp as all evil somehow lurks from some place good which seems twisted and comes with a price in this materialistic world where evil seems to roam. Profound! Made me think alot and its a pleasure visiting your page always.

Theology has evolved to shed much of its ignorance, superstition, and cruelty, but not all of it by any means. It's better to rely on our own knowledge reason, and god given intelligence then to hand our minds over to those claiming to own the truth--a key element of the Enlightenment. My best, Robert

A fallen believer such as the devil one who had known the truth and questioned it, man is not so far off. Are we all devils on a narrow path paved with eggshells? Twisting good~

Interesting twist here David...thought provoking as always..

Some truisms here...beneath these few words of yours David there are libraries of theological debate, agencies of good and evil interchangeable depending on the team one follows. Cheers, Paul

The machinations of the devil are hard to resist, even by the most faithful. What seems to be a hand offered as a saving grace is his source of misleading innocents who cannot discern his intention. He's called 'bird catcher, for he knows the bait that will ensnare the weak. I didn't mean to sound like a preacher, but good and evil are often twisted together so tightly that they will fray when pulled apart from temptations of the heart.
