well, if the consequence of sin is death, then i equate that to evil being self destructive. if we're going to start over right, then we have to get rid of the wrong, and man are we all entrenched in it. you know? think about this...
in a world without greed there would be no need for money. can you imagine what it would take to rid the world of our reliance on money? can you imagine a world without greed? it's just soooooo vastly different from where we are now. it's going to be a major, traumatic, transition. it won't be nice.
all these people who WANT to live like we do now, are destroying themselves.
