Good vs. Evil- Maranda Gaines

I do not believe there is a distinct line between good and evil. If this line does exist, it is completely blurred, with the good spilling into the evil as the evil spills into the good.

No one person can be all around “good.” Are superheroes still good after they kill their enemy, even though this enemy has family and friends who care about him too? The hero can do something good, like save the damsel in distress, but that doesn’t make him good. It just makes something he did good.

The same goes with evil. Often times, evil is associated with sin. Everything that is sin is evil and everything that is evil comes from Satan. A gay man shouldn’t be labeled as evil because he wants to be with the person he loves and people practicing sex before marriage shouldn’t be labeled as evil either. There is no true definition of evil.

If there was no good, we wouldn’t know what evil was. If evil didn’t exist, we wouldn’t know what good was without the evil to compare it to. Although the definitions of good and evil aren’t clear, we can’t have one without the other.
