You said he wasn't evil in a way.
That statement cannot be justified, and it's proof of how religion corrupts minds.
He wasn't evil, he was neutral. He was highly mistaken.
Judging by what you said, anything that harms humanity is evil. So, killing is evil. What if a kid just happens to find his dad's gun, takes it to show his mom, and then kills her? Is the kid evil or ignorant?
