Coming from a christian perspective I believe that in the beginning man was good.....(basically lacked the knowledge to be evil) then sin or evil entered the picture. I believe all humans have sin in them....but all humans no matter how bad they may seem also have love in them which is the best description I can think of for "good"(apart from god but thats not where I was going
) This is really hard to paraphrase.....I think when a person is acting out of Love they are not being evil...even if the result of their action is harmful. If someone is totally convinced that COS is the only way then could be acting out of love trying to get their loved ones involved.......theirfore ther actions were good but the result was bad........any questions on this would be nice Im having a hard time writing elequently right now and a question would probably help me to clarify what im saying lol
