I've struggled with these questions for many years, and am not much closer to satisfactory answers than when I started.

I believe that there is actual evil, and evil people - not just absence of good. I have met some of them, and they have forfeited any claim to my love. I believe evil must be resisted, even fought when necessary. I have no problem using violence in that fight, again when necessary.

For me, there is a big difference between respect for humanity, willingness to live and let live, and love. But all of these words and concepts have so many different definitions. What do we mean by "love?" I think we'd all have at least a somewhat different explanation.

Interesting reading. I can't grasp it yet anyway.
