     A  thoughtless  or partial reading of  the  following
essay will lead to a misunderstanding of what it is about.

     Rejecting  God's love and laws (by refusing  to  obey
God's  commandments} is the sign of evil.   Non-conformity
to God's will is a clear sign of evil.

     Evil-people tempt others to do as the  evil-people do
---   so it is dangerous to associate with  non-conforming
evil people.

     People   are  born with original sin ---  which makes
them prone  to  yield to the temptations presented by  the
non-conformity of evil-people.

     Evil  is  born  of decisions to associate  with  non-
conformists  who  do  NOT honor God's  will  through  good
conformity to God's will.

     Good people work to promote conformity to God's  good
will.    God makes clear to good people what His  will  is
regarding  evil-people:   that they repent and conform  to
God's good laws.

     As  with contagious diseases,  it is best to  isolate
evil-people from good-people,  so that the evil influences
of  the  presence  of evil-people  will  not  infect good-
people.

     The  best way to  avoid infection is for  good-people
together   in  sanctuaries  where  evil-people   are   not
welcomed/permitted  together in  influential evil ways ---
which are not in conformity to God's laws.  Another way to
minimize the temptation of good-people by evil-people,  is
for  good-people to lock evil-people in  prisons  --- away
from good  people who would otherwise be tempted to become
non-conformists.

     People  who  find pleasure in  being  non-conformists
thereby  prove that they are evil ---  because truly good-
people   find  pleasure only by being intentionally in the
presence of God as obedient children of God.

     We cannot be good servants fulfilling the Will of God
so long as we do not know who-is-good and who-is-evil;  so
we can separate them appropriately.  The knowledge of good
and  evil is the beginning of the wisdom which God  offers
us,   and  calls us to live by.    Evil-people  refuse  to
accept and internalize such knowledge; and so are rejected
by God and God's most faithful servants.  Reread the story
in  Genesis about the "Tree of the Knowledge of  Good  and
Evil".   What is the meaning of the story?   It appears in
two places in Genesis.

     How much of the above do you truly believe?  Why?

                                                                                                                               
                         (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in      
                    (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy)
