Americans have been so sheltered, they don't recognize evil anymore. Even Christians don't because the church has become heretical, a purveyor of the "love generation".
We are not meant to "understand" evil. We are meant to recognize that evil is absolute, that there is NO common ground between us and them, that evil has NO EMPATHY... Only when we recognize this do we begin to understand the war we are in.
Never ask "how can they...?" Only recognize the evil for what it is and then ask "how do we destroy it?"
I completely agree Phil, we are not capable of understanding evil, we just have to be able to recognize it and destroy it. Never has black and white, in my lifetime, been so clear. I thought I was morally right, because I could see gray. WRONG! I was blind and naive.

Many "Christians" are not even Christians. There are too many "Pastors" preaching a false gospel.
I suppose understanding your excellent post, is a bit of understanding.
I do find those who embrace evil mind boggling. Perhaps that’s all I can hope or want to understand
As they say in AA: "Understanding is the booby prize."
Well said Phil!
