Evil breeds hate. Then hatred breeds violence.
Hatred sets men one against another. The father of evil (if you believe
the Bible) is Satan; the one thing Satan wants more than anything else is for
men to hate one another. The fact that men hating one another breeds violence and
causes men to destroy one another means that we do Satan’s work for him.
Perhaps you do not believe in Satan or in objective evil. If you insist on
disbelieving in Satan that is fine; but not believing that we can define evil
as one man stirring hatred for another for any reason seems to be lacking in
understanding. For if we hate one another we can never have peace.
