I'm certainly with Scott here -- I wouldn't rely on the eye test to determine a person's guilt. I was going to look around for pictures of people with similar eyes who demonstrably AREN'T evil, and I'm pretty sure that with sufficient time I could find some. But it's more efficient to repeat Scott's point. Throughout history, people have been judged on the basis of their appearance -- such as skin color, for example. It's a dangerous road, even if you think it applies in this case.
(BTW, souxi, I know you're not being racist, but can't blue eyes look evil?)
Whether this woman is evil or not, I think, is partly a matter of semantics and partly a matter of theology. What she did was certainly really, really bad. So semantically, I guess you could call her actions evil. But that's her actions.
So is she herself, as a person, evil? That's where theology comes in. I don't really believe in "evil" in that sense. Nor do I believe in hell.
As an agnostic, I'm just stuck with the mystery of why people do such horrible things, and whether they'll face "justice" in the afterlife. I tend to think they won't, which seems unfair, but it's my observation of how the universe works. Just like perfectly nice people sometimes get to watch their children carried off by a tsunami. That's not "just," either.
Why is there good and evil and tragedy and all that? Many religions offer comforting answers, but I'm not a follower of any of them. So I really have no idea.
Wow, this thread is getting heavy!
Edgar Allen Poe had a very unusual appearance. And he even wrote creepy stories. Does that mean he was a serial killer? Who knew?
How do you think he got the idea for the telltale heart??
