I think its easier to go to anyone about your parents hitting you then being raped........also the kid could of drank something the priest gave them and fell asleep only to feel pain and confusion the next day and not know what just happened to them till years later.......
I was going to respond to him, but that twisted logic is the same, more than likely, that went through the head of each of those sick fucks when they abused those children. I was talking about Ireland by the way NonSum, you dont know what the schooling system (moreso in boys schools) entailed. There was daily systematic corporal punishment, any boy speaking out of turn or especially speaking against the staff were beaten ruthlessly, it was a time when the country was under the control of the Catholic church more than the control of the government. "The church is right" was the general concensus at the time. Speak for your own country, but you know fuck all about what happened here. Your statement highlighted by NotDeadYet shows the mentality of a sick nonce and someone completely uncapable of understanding what systematic sexual and physical abuse does to people.
Unless it is a koan about getting hit in the head. I really meant that the difference between evil and insanity can be subtle.
With a feather. There is no difference between evil and insanity. To view the world on one hand kind, and on the other vicious, is indicative of a split mind, insanity.
Of course there is. And, it's stupid to think otherwise, unless of course you are one of those who believe everything the media shoves down your throat?
If it is random there is no intent. Rainfall as well as the sunshine is random violence falling on the earth indiscriminately.
It is stupid to believe in, or have faith, in evil. It is insane to wage war against evil, it is a battle with our own attitudes. It is sane to stand with the good faith of reality.
I use 'evil' not in the formal, theologic sense, but as the generic concept that everybody is familiar with.
I do not believe that there is evil as in Satan controlling people to behave in evil ways. But the reality is that some people will do evil things, who will plan with a clear mind to do so, by their own free will.
