Can one find an Orc in the real world? No.
Can you find a strong supporter of a cause (be it a dark or light one) in the real world? Yes.
Do all Paladins wield swords of holy flames? That is one interpretation of what a Paladin can do. A paladin does not necessarily need to wield a sword of holy flames (even if you believed that all Paladins were good in nature).
