What does the play Macbeth say about good and evil? It is in human nature to want to do bad things‚ but when you start down a path how easy is it to be lead astray? Sometimes we can let things like pride and greed get in the way of our beliefs and values. Wrongful influence can lead people down some very dark roads and eventually destroy the lives of people they love and even themselves.

Based on your understanding of a Christian world view‚ are we normal or abnormal? I believe that we live in an abnormal world and are abnormal because the once-perfect creation is now affected by sin and the Curse.
