a.k.a. How nightmare plagues every dream of God's Kingdom -
Many evils have been perpetrated in the name of Christianity; even now, there seems to be many individuals who justify their bigotry, hatred, or violence, by appealing to Christianity. The same, of course, happens with other religions, and even non-religious and anti-religious ideologies. But, the real question is, why?
This episode explores one key vector of such evil, and it begins with this point: evil is parasitical to the good. And just before Jesus began his mission to save the world, the devil offers him three temptations; each was an attempt to ensure that evil could feed off from what Jesus would accomplish. Jesus rejected these temptations; we usually did not.
