RELIGION’S CONCEPT OF THE GOOD

As it is stated, Religion is a system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to

worship a God or a group of Gods. With a definition as this, Religion’s concept of the
good could be derived. It is subjective upon the laws or commandments followed by a
specific denomination. Above said laws, the thing common in all religions is that in many
different ways, they unite in the objective of turning people into the path of goodness—
the path that pleases God, Whoever it is that is worshiped. It campaigns for morality,
compliance to authority of the church and law, and being a good human. It promotes
kindness and advocates peace through teachings that reform how people think, live,
and act. Its concept of the good abides by the prescribed, that’s why it is mentioned in
Chapter 6 that it has the most complicated relationship with globalism.

RELIGION’S CONCEPT OF EVIL

Religion’s concept of evil is a diverse matter. Anything that surpasses the limits
of human longings, anything that is too much, and anything that influences people to
focus on material things that make them willing to trample on others to achieve—are
things that form Religion’s concept of evil.

Too much love that turned lust, too much ambition that made one cheat, too
much kindness that turned into self-righteousness, too much humility that turned to
pride—these are just some. Generally, Religion’s concept of evil is made of a life full of
sins, but unknowingly, if we may notice, it is made of too much of everything—even the
good. Its general concept of evil is everything, even the good, which is without
moderation.
