The Reality of Evil: Its Deestate and Symbol

Evil is undoubtedly real. The existence of evil brought about a profound transformation in Vox Day's worldview, prompting him to embrace religion. When confronted with true evil, one cannot remain secular or relativist. Evil cannot be fully portrayed or comprehended, as it tends to be countered by good forces almost immediately following its depiction. Evil is characterized by inconsistency and dishonesty. Honest manifestations of evil cannot persist in plain sight for long.

Evil as a Dark Undefeated Force

In its essence, evil can be seen when humans live below their true potential, driven by various negative reasons. While survival of the fittest is a necessity of nature, human slavery – a condition where people are controlled by others – is a manifestation of evil. This occurs because there must always be a slave owner and a slave, a distinction that tends to be arbitrary. Psychopaths often gravitate towards these roles. Violence, dishonesty, and manipulation – all these forms of control are part of the broader definition of evil, whether it be historical slavery, economic manipulations, or media-driven defamation.

Evil is personified by forces that aim to return humanity to its primordial state, akin to cowering apes, while themselves acting as the ruling apex predators. An example of such manipulation includes printing money while simultaneously devaluing it, or utilizing pervasive media to defame and destroy reputations. These actions seek to undermine human free will and the capacity for self-regulation, thereby creating a dependency on external authorities to impose order and control.

The Ultimate Evil: Satan

In religious terms, evil reaches its zenith with the figure of Satan. Satan embodies the epitome of evil, being the eternal enemy of God. According to religious texts, Satan will be thrown to Earth with the fallen angels, and his wrath will be immense as he knows his time on Earth is short. The reality of evil is evident in numerous immoral actions such as murder, hatred, adultery, robbery, selfishness, turning away from God, child molestation, abortion, and slander. Sinfulness, like the destruction caused by evil in the form of child molestation, ruins lives and destroys innocence.

From a religious perspective, evil is anything that contradicts the commands of the Almighty. Satan, as the archetypal embodiment of evil, brings laughter to his heart by causing humans to sin. His future is in the eternal fire where he will suffer ceaselessly. His greatest joy would be to lead God's loved ones to his fiery pit, reflecting his intense hatred for humanity. This is why Jesus Christ came and died for humanity, making his blood the only means of atonement.

Concluding Thoughts

The reality of evil is a complex and pervasive issue, challenging human morality and freedom. By understanding the nature of evil and its true form, we can work towards combating its influence and promoting the values upheld by the higher power.
