Choose Good, Choose God
For the past few weeks I have been watching "Supernatural" on DVDs. I am at the second season now.
Watching the potrayals of evil creatures in Supernatural make me wish that the evil spirits do look like them. Seriously. Then it will be easy to discern which is good and which is evil :) I joked with my wife that all evil creatures in the series were so obvious in their appearance and behavior. It was as if they were announcing to everybody: "Look at us!!! Look at us!!! We are evil!!! YEEAAAAAAAH"
Life might be easier if evil solely chose that kind of appearance. Unfortunately, our everyday evils are not like that. Our everyday evils appear in the form of: misprioritization, white lies, ignorance, self-justification, pride and other even subtler forms. Though subtler, they are more dangerous and harder to freed ourselves from when we are trapped in their snares.
On the other side of the coin, we often choose what is obviously evil, so no, life might not be easier should evil do choose to be obvious!
Bottom line: choose good! Choose God! :)
