How ironic that religious fanatics have demonstrated to the human race that evil is palpably real -- by their own hypocritical, hateful, and murderous behavior. And no religion or culture has any monopoly of these monsters. They foul the nest of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity equally. Another aspect of this (which many of you are probably already anticipating) is that if you take evil seriously (shall we call it metaphysical evil?), then you also end up taking good seriously, and THAT opens the door to God thinking, since it seems plausible that "God" can be a word/metaphor for the ultimate good. So this twists around into so many ironies it’s hard to keep track. First, it means religious fanatics (basically the lunatic right wing of any institutional religion) are where religion, goodness, and God (if that works for you) are NOT. Indeed, they are the exact opposite of God, with their drooling righteous hatreds and blood lust. Right wing Israeli religious fanatics have NOTHING to do with the Hebrew Prophets (those beacons of justice), any more that Muslim "holy warriors" (that ultimate contradiction in terms) have any thing to do with the wise and compassionate teachings of Mohammed, any more than that army of Christian right wing rapture raptors who hate EVERYONE, have any spiritual connection with the loving presence of Jesus Christ. Global warming is all about financially exploiting our dying (and it IS dying) planet. Fossil fuels are planetary suicide, but the elites want the oil profits AT ANY COST. Well, the cost is going to be the death of human civilization if not the literal extinction of the human species -- but the elites want more money. 99% of what has happened, is happening, and will happen (unless we start playing going-all-the- way apolitical hard ball) is because THE ELITES WANT MORE MONEY. So behind the meaningless games of establishment politics and religion are the Earth's blood-sucking vampire elites. This one percent (probably less) of human beings are and always have been the true God's and Goddess's of planet Earth. Note that the question still remains as to what evil really is. But theology, psychology, genetics, etc, aside, whatever it is, IT'S REAL and it has our planet in its claws as we speak. Perhaps the only thing we truly KNOW about evil is that its manifestation on our desperately wounded and vulnerable planet is through religious fanatics and vampire elites. These are the true children of a Heart of Darkness blacker than any black hole. God help us.
