God knows the outcome. God knows where those souls are now. God can bring good from evil. When I punish my child for stealing, I am not being evil, I am loving that child. God doesn't want evil to happen, but he knows that it will because many HUMANS are evil.

So then NO human murders are really evil, because God knows the outcome, and he's in control at all times.

We should stop blaming people for these acts, cause God's in charge of the whole sha-bang....

(sorry, but that strikes me as absurd)

Just because God knows the outcome doesn't make them any less evil. What lies in someone's heart that commits these acts is what makes them evil. The motive behind murder is typically selfishness. The person thinks of themselves rather than any consequences their actions might have. If they do think of the consequences they then relish the pain and anguish of others. This is blatant evil.

A soldier, on the other hand, commits murder in self-defense of his country. He may not want to kill someone, but for the sake of his country and his principles he will do so. That is self-sacrifice. Giving of yourself is never evil.

And before you go there, Atta and his ilk are not considered soldiers in my book. They killed innocent people unnecessarily, supposedly to go meet their 17 virgins...very selfish.....

my 2 cents...
