That's the effect of world view. Unless you have a common world view, and/or a common basis of knowledge, you can't see things from the same viewpoint. However, that fact doesn't validate one world view or another or make all worldviews equally right.
There is right and there is wrong. There is good and there is evil.
Satan exists as does God.
Sin exists as does Righteousness.
That doesn't mean they are equivalent in any manner. It doesn't mean one is just as good as the other.
One is right and one is wrong. The human being who has the viewpoint can't tell the difference. Johari's window always keeps part of the picture hidden, unless someone outside the individual brings what is hidden into the light.
God provides His viewpoint through His Word. We choose to accept or reject It.
