Law and Religion

Domains of God and Devil?

One is unifying, the other adversarial
both deal with good vs evil
ethics, morality, community standards
sin and illegality, criminality, unlawful
injustice and unfairness
opinion

Faith, hope, charity, mercy, beneficence, good will
come together, right now, over me
acceptance, forgiveness, righteousness, sympathy and empathy
love, kindness, compassion, happiness, path out of suffering

Oppositional, us vs. them, teams, plaintiff v. defendant
    winner, loser;  judgment, sentence, resolution
polarity, dialectic, thesis vs. antithesis

antagonistic:  sports, chess, politics
corporations, teams, parties
   competing for dollars, points, votes
nations/gangs at war
   victor and vanquished, dead or alive

justice, revenge, karma
reward and punishment, freedom and incarceration
cards you're dealt, life isn't fair
progress and regress
long arc of history
synthesis
