Evil is a fairy tale?? come on face reality for once in your life, put yourself in the shoes of those poor souls that were abused and poisoned in NAZI death camps and then talk again
You don't get it Alan... Our conception of the thing is not the thing... Every day people like Hitler are born, and most of them become the nobodies Hitler should have become... We; all of us, by accepting immorality is small ways and in larger, by accepting injustice when we benefit from it though it benefits no one, are making the next Hitler unavoidable. We are not ever going to get moral people as the product of an immoral society or a moral society as the product of an immoral people, and to say good or evil entirely misses the point, because evil is an abstraction but morality is a fact...
And I will admit that the most moral people can be the most ruthless and brutal to others out of their moral sense, but if they are moral then that feeling can be expanded to all of humanity with hope...I do not think the Jews or Arabs of Palestine are fun people, but they are each moral in the traditional sense of morals, but if they were not, there would be absolutely no hope for them...
