Doesn't Society have an irrational fear of words?
The forces in the Universe are not positive or negative.
They are nuetral. They just exist.
However, there are "Zillions" of beings in Reality. With Free Will, and many "choose" to do wrong. These are the
Powers of Darkness.

Wrong? By whose standard? Neither you nor I can judge any other life form whose nature are not known to us. Even our own mundane animals have different thought patterns to humans.
Incidentally, as you say, there are no Powers of Darkness. All demons come from within the mind, not outside it, regardless of what images religion tries to control us with.

Some religions see the world as polarised - good versus evil, right versus wrong, etc. It is not that they fear the words, just that their religion teaches that there is a conflict and they have to chose a side.
Other religions, such as paganism, see the world as balanced. There is both good and bad in everything, it is how you use it that counts. Water, for example, sustains life, but can also ravage body and property when in a flood. There is not "good" water and "evil" water, just water.
It can be difficult to see another person's point of view, when you cannot empathise with it but you have to try and show understanding. After all, the idea of a conflict between good and evil has been with us for a long time. Most people of the Pagan persuasion have come to terms with it - and moved on.

It has never been about light or dark, good or evil. It has always been about right and wrong. When a group of people believe that something is right. They will do whatever that thing is blindly and ignoring the voices of reason and even sanity. While this group are doing there thing, another group of people will think that it is wrong, horrifying or even envy what they are doing and find any excuse. Its always been about opinion

my friend the power of darkness is not fully evil. sometimes people tend to think it is. People tend to shoot first then ask questions later. if darkness is trully evil, why would God make it in the first place. Why would God make day and night where night is actually dark. Why did God made the universe where in fact most areas in the universe are dark. This means that dark and light are neutral. They create balance int he universe.

We should avoid the appearance of the darkness..to shun evil. A serpent (Satan) only needs a crack in the door to come in so do not open the door even a little bit. Do not dabble in the occult. You may inadvertently open the door to let demonic spirits enter your life. Demonic spirits will think they can take up residence in your life and may even affect other generations in your family.

Well in my oppinion i do not belive in "powers of darkness" and such. You are who you make yourself and some people chose to do evil things. They dont do this because they are possed or something stupid like that they do it because they are horrid people.
