This was the position of John Stuart Mill, - the Manichaean view, though Mr. Mill did not go so far as to personify evil. The Calvinistic view is really nearer to modern thought, when...

There was an idea of reward and retribution, but in most cases it considered only the attainment of that first of savage virtues, namely, courage, though sometimes obedience to the will of the gods was thought to meet with a recompense. In Mexico there was a highly organized system which provided three separate destinies according to the way in which death was caused...
