Ah ... madness and delusion. Yet another can of worms.

Absolutely. This was touched on yesterday, briefly. Robby said, to some astonishment, that even the Devil is intending to do good.

Think of the Islamofanatics. Our task in reaching them is not so simple as to rebuke them and remind them what they are doing is wrong. Rather, it is much deeper than that.

We are dealing with a people who are firmly convinced that blowing yourself and some Jews up in a bus station is good.

It is one thing to pull someone back who is straying off the path. Quite another to address someone's fundamental inversion of reality.

Are those who do significantly evil things proudly really "evil" or are they in some manner mentally damaged?

Is this position reasonable ?

Is not the Devil out for himself, at the expense of all others ?

Do you think that he does not know this is not good.
