I think Brother George's comment puts it in perspective. We should all avoid the appearance (view, form, fashion, or sight) of evil.
I conducted a wedding ceremony years ago for a young couple. They were new converts. During the reception the newly wed young man asked my "elderly" and wiser friend, "Would you like a glass of wine?" My friend responded kindly, "No thank you."
"You don't think this glass of wine will send me to hell do you?"
"No, I don't. It may send someone else to hell though!"
I thought that was wise counsel.
