Why is evil always so hard to nail down or why does it seem that no one really wants to identify it but simply dissect the potentiality of what it may define. You don't consider anything on the video as evil but do recognize it as bad, horrifying and obscene, which basically covers the face of evil, but rather bypass evil representation to bring attention to religious aspects, which by the way I agree with 100%, don't burn your steak here. The dark ages are still upon us brother and while technology creates a vision of advancement, attitudes and behaviours create a different picture, the picture of reality, of good and of evil. I feel we must somehow find resolve in the issue of what is evil. We have here a collection of brilliant minds, myself excluded lol, and so we can somehow be assertive in our resolve. I find too many threads wind up as fray ends. Which reminds me of a thread that walked into a bar, the bartender said "we don't serve threads", so the thread walked out, shredded out it's end and tied itself into a loop, walked back into the bar, the bartender noticed and immediately and irately said, "damn, I told you we don't serve threads in here", the thread responded "I'm not a thread" at which the bartender scowled, "you are so" and so the thread having the last word said "nope, I'm a frayed knot".
