I never said one thing was a consequence of the other. I said that a person committing an evil action may not be evil, they may rather be mistaken.

You are not reading your mail...

I said:

You said that whether you would call a person "evil" depends on if they were "mistaken"--which (of course) is a consequence of secular limitation, intelligence, etc.

which means that "mistaken" is a consequence of limitation--NOT A CONSEQUENCE OF "EVIL".

You said that their "evil" was dependent on your opinion of whether or not they were "mistaken". To you, the evil of the person is qualified by the judgement of Tim Fowler. This is slightly at odds with Absolutist doctrine! :-)
