Yes, I agree, it is naive to think evil does not exist. Perhaps the most dangerous evil of all is the evil we bring forth from within ourselves. It is hard to defend against because we often don't recognize it. From within it usually looks like something good. We often see it as justice, self defence, or even the will of God, and we believe it is a necessary thing for the good of all. All wars and persecutions are conducted by those who believe they are defending that which is good against that which is evil.
