Assignment 3- Reagan Smith

Good and Evil- it's one of the more commonly used theoretical concepts. Is it theoretical though? That is the question. From the spiritual standpoint, there is a certainly a defined good and evil- God being good, and Satan being evil. Without them, it is hard to understand how we are supposed to live.

Just because good and evil exist and the sources of them are defined, it does not mean that individual actions are easy to define as just good or just evil. For example- terrorism is without a doubt an evil act, but is the war that is fought afterwards good because it is trying to defeat the evil "for the common good" or is it evil because God says, "Thou shall not kill."? There is certainly gray area between what is right and wrong, but from the Spiritual standpoint, it is very possible for evil to be defeated, and that is through God's loving acts.
