I don't believe that anyone is intrinsically or essentially evil. If we believed they they were intrinsically evil, we could not hold them responsible for the evil that they do, because they could not help it.
But people do things which are evil. People do things which are evil often because they did not sufficiently think ahead, and consider the consequences of their actions. And people do things which are evil sometimes because others who have authority over them tell them to. >>>
