Do you not acknowledge the existence of evil? I don't think the millions of your faith who were slaughtered like livestock were victims of some misunderstanding. They saw the face of evil, the Nazis of 20th century Germany. |
Men are not evil, though they may commit evil acts. There is humanity in everyone. Yes, even killers. Doesn't mean I condone killing, but I would never say a person is evil because that would be incorrect.

Oh there's another bumper sticker I love. "Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?" And yeah, I oppose the death penalty. Here is my take on that:
