Evil Doesn't Exist
Ya know...many people (those who do anyway) hate George Bush.
Yet, do they realise that by he being who he is, he has either directly or indirectly, managed to make people who couldn't and didn't give a damn earlier, about either the United States or the World, now stand up and pay attention?
Think about it, before this, many 'Americans' didn't care about the rest of the world - or their own country for that matter. However, when push came to shove, slowly they begin to take notice.
It's the same with Dan Brown and the Da Vinci Code book.
While many Christians hate him - he has also managed to make many Christians take up an extra interest in their own faith which they took for granted before. In fact, that's exactly what he said - that what he wrote may or may not be true, but one thing he knows for certain is that it will make believers take up interest and get to know their faith better.
Isn't that always the case? What we think as evil isn't actually evil - it's just our perception of it. Evil is something you cannot accept - but it doesn't mean that it's bad or wrong. It just means you don't understand it - so yeah, you could say, you're stupid :p
To a stupid person, everything is evil (hence the common idea that so-called evil people are usually stupid as well - just look at George with all the jokes about how he makes mistakes!)
Yet, at the end of the day, sometimes it's the stupid and hence 'evil' people, are the ones who make others move ahead. When you consider even non-evil people like Gandhi made people move (although he would probably be seen as evil by those who hated him), then you can see that there's no such thing as good and evil people - nor stupid or smart.
Everyone is just as is - some of us know more of certain things than another - so that only means we're smart in that area - we can't know everything! We all do what we know and end of the day, everyone sooner or later helps others - regardless if you realise it or not! :)
