Original Sin and the Three Faces of Evil

Pastor Gary delivered a sermon at my Methodist church a couple of weeks ago that really got me to thinking. Pastor was talking about different types of evil -- existential evil, moral evil, and natural evil. When I heard the sermon sitting there in the church choir my little ears perked up, because I made a big connect to something far more terrible and sinister than what I am sure Pastor Gary intended. I emailed Pastor for a quick definition of the three types of evil. Here is his response:

I described existential evil as just the existence of "evil", disembodied, disassociated with anyone
or anything. Natural evil is descriptive of those events which happen in nature with what we view
as harmful or destructive consequences. Moral evil is intended to get at the harm which humans
perpetrate on each other by free will. -- Pastor Gary

When I heard this sermon a couple of weeks ago, I remembered reading some of the early sermons of Jonathan Edwards, thinking about Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God... [for a text of the sermon: Link]. This line stuck out:

How dreadful is the state of those that are daily and hourly
in the danger of this great wrath and infinite misery!

I rescanned the Edwards sermon written long ago, and every time I saw the word sinner, I thought about the Creature from Jekyll Island. When I think of the plague of the three faces of evil Pastor Gary talked about in his sermon two Sundays ago, I make the connection to America's private central banking cartel in cahoots with the politicos inside the Beltway in the Synergistic relationship that G. Edward Griffin explains in his book and other writings. Stephen Roach's essay linked above, Original Sin, makes a great connect in my view to both Pastor Gary, Jonathan Edwards, and author Griffin.

Then I remembered my research on Congressman McFadden and the Federal Reserve. Here is his 1934 speech before Congress.

What could be more morally evil, naturally evil, and existentially evil than this private central banking cartel, which is nothing Federal, nor a Reserve of any kind? These evils are what I call mendacity -- nothing panegyric at all in that.
