First, it's stupid because it's a childish definition. There is no evil, not even in SW, there's always a motivation, a reason.
Second, I'll never EVER stop believing in peace. I mean, what is your definition of an ideal world? A non-ending war? I'm fighting for the ideal world, the world I want our children to be raised in.
No it is not stupid or childish! What planet--what version of Earth do you live on man?
Evil is very real. It is freakin' obvious to anyone with half a brain.
I'm sorry if I sound rude, but what you are saying is pure lunacy. Is Osama bin-Laden not evil? Was Hitler not evil? Denying the existence of evil is denying the very nature of the universe. The problem with your utopian idealism is that you are being a relativist. If there is no real evil then there is never a good reason to go to war. All wars of the past then have been selfish and pointless.
It is obvious to me that you will never understand my position--at least until you understand the nature of evil. Yes, often people have motivations for doing evil things, but often they do not.
Obviously, a never ending war isn't any decent person's ideal world. In a world ideal as it will ever get this side of eternity evil will always be confronted and dealt with where-ever it is. Whether it be the perversions of perverts like Marolyn Manson or certain Catholic priests, or the unbridled sadism of Saddaam Hussein, evil wouldn't be ignored.
Of course, in the truly ideal world there would be no evil.
(And no, I am not saying we need to kill Marolyn Mansion, just using "him" as an example. That guy needs some serious help.)
