Have you noticed that things that were seen as evil 30 odd years ago are now seen as good or less evil. After the fight is over( if good wins) good pulls back from evil but never makes it all the way back, so slowly good becomes evil
Its only because we move the bench marks do we fool ourselves that many things are still "good"
Very Good Christmas old friend
Well, that does seem a very Christian viewpoint - that there are no good people, only varying degrees of evil ones.
I believe it was Jesus himself who said "Why callest thou me good? There is none good, no, not one, except my Father in Heaven", or something along those lines. So, you may be onto something, or at the very least in the right company!
Merry Christmas to you and yours as well, old friend!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
