Evil in Middle-Earth

Allow me to venture that, according to Tolkien, our world was supposed to be Middle Earth. And since the Bible originates in our world (Middle Earth!), and the discussion is mostly still about good and evil... the answer is Yes! Both!

Okay. Back on topic. *fights of the Pnume with a stick*

I maintain nonetheless that ying-yang dualism can... Eek. Sorry about that. I maintain my statement that evil is qualitative, rather than quantitative. While evil may or may not be measurable on the scale, something is evil regardless of how evil you think it is. A 'little evil' is qualitatively the same as a great evil.
