You may see the "fall of man" as evil, yet is is vital to knowing salvation and Gods love.

You may see the bible as negative, yet without it you'd have no knowledge of the difference Jesus makes, no any information about Jesus himself.
Bang on. Couldn't have put it better. Sort of like a reverse of that "Takes one to know one" insult, right? You can't do good without understanding evil.
