The ting about religion is that it can make good people do evil things. There are lots of evil people in there and appealing to their good side is difficult to impossible, but there are also lots of good people caught up in ignorance.

Ideally we could try to reason will all of them, but that privilege seems to be running thin. We will have to let many of these people go, but it's good to remember that they aren't intrinsically again us.

Unfortunately, appealing to the good side of evil people

I think it is a mistake to assume this is a question of "good" and "evil" people. It is more an issue of (pulling a Kirk-ism) gang violence.

Once you're surrounded by a powerful military and you can act with impunity, your impulsiveness is only ever rewarded.

Evil isn't a personal trait, it is a bad habit.

You write people off to easy. Sure, growing up lots we discontent with their lives but there was no concerted effort to tear down the government.

Media got us here. Media is to blame. Evil people can be quarantined. That is their "good side." Forced to remain within their direct sphere of influence rather than spread their tentacles accross the entire internet.
