You said there never was. And capitalized and bolded Never to emphasize it

I NEVER EVER said that, Christopher. I said this:

"Being afraid has nothing to do with being EVIL.
NOTHING."

cowardly people are more likely to be evil and courageous people less likely

Where have you been sleeping? It seems obvious that frightened people would be less likely to make the choice to harm someone, as they could only pursue maleficent intentions where it was safe...whereas brave people could work their harm both in unthreatening situations, as well as dangerous ones.

If you look at where most killings have occured in the world, the overwhelming majority took place in warfare; which, as you know, is characterized by a great number of brave people courageous enough to place their lives at risk. People who believe that good and evil are absolutely opposed will also note that half of these brave people happened to be evil. So the answer to your question should be obvious.

And if further proof were needed: How many lawyers do you know whom are afraid of their shadows <gg>. I Surely hope you can take a little joke...
