Fortunately, my friend and I discussed it and were able to work out the kinks of the communication. I feel as you do, Anne. There is not one belief that is any better or more sacred than another. And, yes, absolutely, when condensed to their purest and most fundamental form, all beliefs sprout from the same core. When I say that evil has to do with killing, I do not mean to restrict myself to corporeal murder.
Evil is also that which kills spirit.
It is possible to kill or attempt to kill one of these attributes without actually destroying the body. This is the essence of my belief and I'll take it one step further. To denegrate anyone's beliefs or their path to arriving at their beliefs is evil. Thank you for your message. It can be a sicky subject, one i dance around a lot.
