Dear Cipher and Thrill Kill: You posted before that you don't believe Evil exists.
or as Cipher quoted: "Evil is just a point of View"
I find it interesting that some people don't believe in evil just because they can forgive whatever people are calling evil. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There is a difference scientifically in the energy from loving positive thoughts and prayer, vs. negative unforgiving hateful/retributive energy. This can be proven scientifically. Doctors who study and write books healing prayer compared with voodoo/curses, report that the energy is so different they CLASH. Forgiveness studies show the difference in the impact and recovery on mental/physical health. What is "relative" is what people are willing to forgive.
I also make a distinction between people who "don't believe hell exists" and those who believe there is hellish suffering, but it has a purpose and an end, so "hell" can be overcome. Even "war" can be seen as sending someone into hell. Or sending anyone through the criminal justice system after a loved one is murdered becomes a long drawn out hell if the family doesn't forgive and let go spiritually.
Are you okay with this idea that "hell" and "evil" may exist, but don't have to be feared as "evil". These can be overcome by forgiveness, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Does this explanation still work with what you believe?
Otherwise, what do you call that negative energy to distinguish it from positive? What do you call the level of peace that comes from forgiveness and letting go, as opposed to the level of suffering that comes from fear, unforgiveness, and seeking retribution against others? If you don't call it evil, what terms do you use? Thanks!
