Greater EvilFriday, January 17, 2014 There are all sorts of evil in the world, most of which are clouded in defensible acts: the "white lie" comes to mind. Manipulation and coercion are a bit more serious and are usually conducted by someone who intends to profit from it in one way or another. Then there is the brash in-your-face sort of evil that can only come from a government bent on the absolute subjugation of the people. We think of ourselves as intelligent and caring people. Some of us know that to be a lie, but we profess it anyway as it is pleasing to ourselves. It is an excuse to avoid causing ourselves misery. We hearken back to the founders of the nation, to their thirst for liberty and their dedication to the Lord. We see ourselves in that light, somewhat. So, I ask you: What is the greater evil? The evil of dictators and kings; open, plain and without shame or the evil of self-deception? christianmerc.blogspot.com/2014/01/greater-evil.html
