Fighting Evil

Submitted by Another Man (United States), Nov 22, 2007 at 16:54

My own belief is that God is in each of us, to say it differently we are all God looking at ourself from different viewpoints. Killing another would be killing oneself. I see the battle against evil an individual battle within. It is a battle to give LOVE and not hate despite the invitations of others who are asking for me to be their excutioner.

My battle is "not to submitt to the invitation of another to hate, harm or destroy". Our purpose in this universe from my point of view is to exchange things with each other. In other words give and recieve our creations that were made with love or "good energy". It is a creative process not a destructive process. I don't partake in any religion that promotes "we are the chosen ones" since I believe "we are all of the same thought" and that thought is what people call "GOD".

We are all capable of creating anything. So of course anyone interpeting a religion to suggest harming another in their name is a narrow minded point of view and opens the door to a fight. The solution is to, on an individual basis, not deal with minds that hate. Don't give them energy. Ignore them or love them. That's my own philosophy. That is what is true for me.
