How do we deal with the problem of evil?
In cases like Darfur, what can we do to rule over the evil that is destroying and slaughtering thousands of people?
Is there a seperation of good and evil people, or are we one in the same? [would you agree that there is no such thing as an evil person?]

//Instrument of Peace
Make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life."
//St. Francis of Assi

For the first two questions I have no answer for you. All people at all times have the potential for evil. Hitler had just as much potential to be godly and righteous as he did to be a mass murderer.
I agree 100%. NT Wright says that the line of good and evil falls within all of us, not as te world would say: that there are good people and evil people.
I'm glad that God does not judge me as the world does through actions, but sees the potential for good (however small that potential is)
Hello my Friend. I just wanted to tell you that I love you, and that you are a pretty Sweet Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
