Re: Evil ideas?
OK, I do think that ideas, even when independent of action, can be evil. Using your example of racism, regardless of whether the racist acts on his/her notions, the seed for evil is still in existence. Think Chinese Whispers. What if the racist did nothing physically about his views except perhaps share how he felt with another, perhaps impressionable friend? This friend would then have the racist views planted, and it could continue. So, although the racist did nothing obviously noticeable about his ideas, he still managed to get his point across. Sometimes whispering speaks the loudest. Just a theory........
