Identifiers of Evil
Identifiers of Evil
Evil cannot thrive in an environment where it is recognized as evil. Evil always comes to us in the name of doing good. If that is the case, how can we possibly distinguish between good and evil? When we see any of the following identifiers of evil, it should be like a flashing neon light, warning that the group or individual promoting an evil identifier is promoting evil. If all of us would simplify recognize that, we would not be deceived by evil and it could not thrive!
