"A Christian can fight what is wrong in the world with compassion and know that as he hates these things, God hates them too. God hates them to the high price of the death of Christ."
-Francis Schaeffer in The God Who Is There, pg. 136.
Does any other prevailing worldview- naturalism/atheism, postmodernism, Eastern religions, New Age- possess the integrity to hate evil as much as the Christian worldview does? I don't think so, especially considering the words "hate" and "evil" are not popular words in this culture.

Agreed. And moreso because many of those worldviews that you mentioned don't believe that evil exists. Evil, defined as from the Christian worldview. For them, what is "evil" might be a negative thought or some other sort of pschological indifference in your mind. Very sad.
Welcome to the blogosphere!!
Thanks Daniel,
Yeah, I thought this might be interesting. I suppose Judaism would define evil similarly, but its scope from Christianity might differ slightly. Islam also believes in evils but it is manifested differently and different actions are classified as such.
