What was just done in America is going to hurt people all across the world, and it was not a small number of people.


> it was not a small number of people.

Exactly. The laws of the mob apply.

Gather a large number of decent people. Seed that mob with a small number of evil people. Now that mob is evil.


A large number of decent people do not become evil; they resist evil, denounce it. By definition, a good person cannot be swayed by evil people. Only the morally ignorant and callous can be swayed by evil. Yes, that is the majority; it always has been.

People who have no spiritual growth do not understand this fact. In fact, they deny it, even as it is happening right in front of their face.

Lack of spiritual growth prevents a person from comprehending the facts of evil. A person of worldly means usually has an even more difficult time apprehending such facts.

That a flat Earther has never looked through a telescope does not make their opinions fact, yet how they deny the truth, huh?


> By definition, a good person cannot be swayed by evil people. Only the morally ignorant and callous can be swayed by evil.

Unfortunately, that flies in the face of everything both science and religion say. It's a rare case when the two agree on a point, but this one is it.

(Unfortunately for your argument; fortunately for humankind.)
