If you read that bit I left you I do not see how you can see the evil as being netural. Because when Paul Speaks about defending one's self with the "armor of God, the defense is from direct attack which in nature is not neutral.
Okay, I guess I can accept your answer on that. Still, lots of room for separate interpretations.
