"But when we place God on our side of things, that we are now ridding the world of evil - that's very dangerous, that one nation has this role to rid the world of evil. What about the evil we have committed, that we are complicit in?"

This quote by Jim Wallis is a warning against the dangerous idea that a person country can rid the world of evil. It suggests that when we place God on our side, we might be lured to think that we are the ones responsible for removing evil from the world. Nevertheless, Wallis reminds us that we need to likewise think about the evil that we have actually committed and are complicit in. He is warning us against the arrogance of thinking that we can single-handedly rid the world of evil, and rather encourages us to take responsibility for our own actions and to collaborate to create a better world.
