If you go to the movies or watch T.V. you will be familiar with the standard Good versus Evil storyline.
The good guys win in the end by superior violence but not until evil has lasted just long enough for us to indulge our dark side.
This is the standard fare for our entertainment.
It has little to do with what is truly good or what is truly evil.
This is the way of the sword which the world endorses.
But the true way is the way of Jesus.
Jesus said not to oppose evil but to pray for those who abuse you.
This is because evil is inspired by fear and God does not destroy evil people but seeks to redeem them.
So don't take your lead from popular entertainment.
Follow the non-violent lead of Jesus of Nazareth.
