Pegasus, I have been sexually abused by two different individuals as a child - a priest who was headmaster of my school and a friend of the family. I don't support abuse. I do support people; all of them, even those who have hurt me. To do otherwise allows them the power to control me - I lived without fear before I met them and through forgiveness, understanding and compassion to and for them, I live without fear today.

It is not supporting abuse to find fault with the logic that just because someone does something bad that they are bad. We can't even agree within this thread on a definition of evil and without one we can agree on, I would be hard pressed to accept a label of evil placed on anyone.
