"equating God-neutrality or athiesm into Satan worshipping"
Several comments back I was saying, "But Sparks didn't say that!" ... Now I'm reconsidering my earlier comments on that score. 'Cause I can see how he could be setting anything "not demonstrably for-God" as having no good in it and thus being absolute-zero evil. I don't know enough about what else Sparks has said to know whether that's actually the direction he takes it or not.
The rest of what you said feels like something I want to chew on some more (and read up on -- I don't suppose you can suggest particularly good web pages I should start with?). I think I've come close to the "encompasses all things which include good and evil" idea within my (undoubtably unconventional) Christian framework, but I'm not sure whether I'm understanding the phrase in quite the same way.
