<<A.A. She doesn't wonder where evil comes from. Norman Mailer thinks it
comes from the devil. Maybe she thinks it comes from the devil too. I
think it comes from abuse in childhood. Victims create victims. Each
victim reacts differently. Unless you think the devil creates victims, the
answer is to stop creating victims in childhood.>>
Every time you post on this topic, I want to hum "Nothing comes from
nothing; nothing ever could....".
Thought experiment: Imagine that it were possible to scientifically trace
human behaviour to the very first "evil" act by a human. If evil is the
result of child abuse, and there were apparently a first child-abuser --
whence comes that abuser's evil? Circular logic -- under my feet, over my
head.
