in foster care, was beaten, told he was stupid and would never amount to
anything. Is he evil? I can't judge him.

That is wisdom, Julie. Although I enjoyed Suzanna's post and wondered
which church said the rather different idea of hell she expressed, it
also occurred to me that worse than spending eternity in hell with evil
ones if you are evil, is spending eternity with evil people when you
aren't.... Earth in other words.
Or spending eternity with evil people who are really good inside and
could possibly be really themselves, and we all have acted in an
aberrated way worse than we wished at times.

Note: I say eternity and earth in the same sentence because I happen to
have the reality that there is not only one lifetime and we may have all
been doing this for a really, really long time.

I just volunteered to write to inmates in a correspondence course for
prisoners.
