Today is the memorial of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Psalm 59 starts out with these two verses: Rescue me from my enemies, O my God; from my adversaries defend me. Rescue me from evildoers; from bloodthirsty men save me. Evil is real here. It follows that goodness is also real. Then God and Satan, heaven and hell—they all must be real. Removing any one of them makes the whole thing fall apart. The ancient Chinese concept of the two opposing forces yin and yang makes sense now after all.
