Whatever diminishes life is evil, and whatever enhances life is good.
I think if you're convinced that you're evil, and that God has had to rescue you, then the best you can be is grateful. But nobody ever loves the person they have to be perpetually grateful to. That's just not the way it works in humanity. You need to be set free. You need to be loved just as you are so that you can become all that you can be. That's the direction we have to turn the Christian message; when we do, it becomes universal.
I've never known about anyone being helped by being told how wretched, miserable, sinful, and evil they are.
