I have to wonder if Mr Poor might say pre Pentecost Peter is evil. He was as some would characterize "chaotic good" in his defense of Jesus, but Jesus called him Satan when Peter tried to prevent Christ from going to the cross.

When Peter tried to prevent Christ's sacrifice, he was indeed acting evilly — which is precisely why Christ called him "Satan." His intentions were good, but by acting chaotically against divine order, he was serving evil regardless of his motives.
This is a perfect example of why "chaotic good" is a contradiction. Even Peter, the rock upon whom Christ would build His church, acted as Satan's instrument when he embraced chaos over order. His love for Christ was proper, but by acting chaotically against God's plan, that love became evil in its expression.
The moment you embrace chaos — even for seemingly good ends — you're serving evil. This is why Christ's rebuke was so harsh. Peter had to learn that true goodness means submission to proper order, not chaotic action based on even the best intentions.

Responding to Peter’s ignorance as one opposing God, Jesus said, “Satan,” which is Hebrew for opponent. If he had not spoken to him from ignorance nor of the living God when he said, “Never, Lord! This must never happen to you!” then he would not have said to him “Get behind me,” as if speaking to someone who had given up being behind him and following him. Neither would he have called him “Satan.” Satan had overpowered the one following Jesus in order to turn him aside from following him and from being behind the Son of God, to make him, because of ignorant words, worthy of being called “Satan” and a scandal to the Son of God, “not thinking in the ways of God but of humans.

Discrimination against White people is so important to our elites that they are declaring it is a crucial part of "national security" to be allowed to continue to do it.
