It seems as if the world has become very divided lately. Conservatives versus liberals. Anti-immigration versus open borders. Anti-vaxxers versus vaccine advocates. Black lives matter versus blue lives matter.
Now it's true that such differences are normal, and have always existed, but it seems as if lately the hostility between opposing positions has become more and more acrimonious, and that people reach that state of acrimony much more quickly. To the point that some in each camp believe that the opposition isn't just wrong, but that their beliefs, or their intentions are actually evil.
Thus the question, when does a belief rise to the level of being evil?
And secondly, are there any beliefs that you think rise to that level?
