Evil exists, and it's evident in what happened to Israel
By Eric Utter
A number of years ago, I wrote a post titled, “Forthwith: A Tale of Fire and the Flammables.”
The post, essentially a parable, substituted fire—and particularly those that supported it-- for “evil.”
The events on and after October 7 have illustrated the point of that piece all too tragically well. Evil exists. It has always existed. It always will exist, the better to define evil—and the character of men. This is a Biblical observation. (We are talking about Israel here.)
The real tragedy is how many support it, openly and zealously. (Those who celebrate the atrocities being committed against Jews should remember that they aren’t immune. Evil, like fire, does not discriminate.)
In truth, something evil abhors, evil may appear generic, amorphous. This is deceptive.
At its core, evil is specific, identifiable—if, in a certain sense, all-encompassing. Good people know it when they see it. Much like the truth.
