Evil is thought to abound on earth. But if you could see the plan of Providence, you would not think there was evil anywhere.
I have seen a video of a man eating the heart of a recently-slain battle foe. Men rape babies. Wounded Knee Massacre. My Lai. Nukes. Hitler. Stalin. Mao. This is bullshit by any reasonable calculation, especially coming from a man about to be bludgeoned to death by political enemies. Reassuring in a moment of desperation, perhaps, but only to a completely and absolutely desperate man.
