I don't see that battle. I see a race of hairless primates with well-evolved opposable thumbs and a large brain, who are capable--simultaneously--of great good, and great evil.

There is no vast, unseen war between principalities and power, between forces of darkness and light. There is just us, trying to do the best we can. Sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing, but still, trying.

You also need people to read books in order to see things from your perspective. I'm not particularly interested in doing that. I already know everything I want to know about the false dichotomy known as black/white thinking. It's illogical. It doesn't hold up in the harsh light of reality. And, it's simply too primitive a way of looking at life to function well in this modern era.
