  1. Hand people a bible and see how fast they spot EVIL … “in others.” From the book … Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America’s Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion … author … Edward J Larson. Clarence Darrow once told a group of convicts, “It is not the bad people I fear so much as the good people. When a person is sure that he is good, he is nearly hopeless; he gets cruel—he believes in punishment.”

  2. To believe that self is “evil” could and has resulted in many people (including members of clergy) … committing suicide. To believe that we are ALL emotionally damaged … suggests that we are all one and the same. Beware of those who claim to know … not only that a creator exists … but give off airs of knowing WHAT the creator is “thinking.” I prefer to invest faith in the scientific theory that the universe always existed … no creator … no plan … and that suffering of all forms of life … is “natural.” If I could cast off the spell of religion at age 70 … there is hope for everyone. I am now 85, and believe that if I am as kind to others as each situation allows … I can’t do better than my best.
