““I doubt he acknowledges the existance of evil.””

If I recall correctly, Obama identified evil as “acts against HIS moral values” during his examination by the Christian Priest Rick Warren.

I thought that was particularly interesting slip-up, as evil is acts or omissions against the moral values of G-d, as defined by both Chrisitan and Jewish theology. A (good) Rabbi (or, I suppose, a good Priest) would have crushed Obama on that.

The word “hubris” came to mind.

Lots of evil men define good by acts or omissions according to their values; this is a very dangerous mode of thinking. There is a correct rule stick and it is G-d’s will.
