I think that the group you speak of is very large, and actually includes everyone of us in some way or another -- various ways at various times.

We are very good at denial.

The problem of human evil is that it is diffuse and shared, and we cannot isolate some scapegoat to rid the world of "evildoers."

"The Devil knows the Bible like the back of his hand."

Want to rob a bank? Sit on the board of directors, or better yet, become one of the top management. Steal with impunity.

"Some men rob the passers by for a little cash to spend. Some men rob whole countries dry and still get called their friend."
