Propaganda is a form of communication that is aimed at
influencing the attitude of a community toward some cause or position so as to benefit oneself.
As opposed to
impartially providing information, propaganda, in its most basic sense, presents information primarily to influence an audience. Propaganda is often biased, with facts selectively presented (thus possibly
lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political, or other type of agenda. Propaganda can be used as a form of
political warfare.
While the term propaganda has acquired a strongly negative connotation by association with its most manipulative and
jingoistic examples, propaganda in its original sense was neutral, and could refer to uses that were generally benign or innocuous, such as
public health recommendations, signs encouraging citizens to participate in a census or election, or messages encouraging persons to report crimes to the police, among others.

I like the way you approached this. If it weren't for God's good, His graciousness in the face of our own wickedness; we would have continued in our sin, every imaginable abomination in His presence; Believing somehow that we were hidden from Him.
To overcome evil with good requires our Lord's treasure. And for some who haven't heard, we are His treasure. We are to give of ourselves, and the gifts He has shared with us. Will there be waste? Absolutely! But as stewards, we are to encourage some type of return, that some good comes of the gift of His love; Knowing that our Father desires that none should perish. This is how important it is to consider our own purpose in the life He gave to each of us. Thank you for standing up for good, when friends start disappearing in the face troubling. Jesus taught this through out His walk, grace in the face of evil.]
