No one sees themselves as the bad guys

I have a working theory that says that no one has ever seen themselves as the bad guy. It doesn’t matter who we are talking about. Everyone, even the most evil of people in history, have always thought of themselves as on the side of good and that their cause is just. Many will invoke God in some way as justification for their actions and beliefs. We have this tendency to twist God for our own purposes after all. Humanity has been doing that for a long, long time.

Does that mean there are no “bad guys?” No, it doesn’t mean that at all. Some can see the damage…
