: I don't have the right answers on most of these topics. I know what I believe, and in this case, I tend to go with our friend, Xavier.
: But let me tell you why --
: In most cases, my belief is to have compassion for everyone, no matter who they are or what they are doing. There is always a reason behind it, and whether that reason and their actions are ignorance, madness, or cold-calculating evil, there is the potential for something (God, or even just the right person who know how to reach them), to smash these people into pulp with an emotional sledgehammer that changes their life and brings them back from the dark side.

I think you hit on some good things here. I'm reminded of the old belief (that some still hold) that there is no such thing as evil. Evil is merely the negation of Good. This sits very well with the conception of all existence within God because if this is true, then he can't contain evil. It doesn't make sense. Anyway, without rambling too long, this outlook breeds compassion, because it says that if something exists, it necessarily has to contain some good at some level. A very beautiful concept I think.
