Alla:
> Why? You think good person could not have been a bully in his youth? And
James was just as horrible as Snape? I guess to me it really does matter what
views they hold and to me the fact that James joined the Order of Phoenix and
Snape joined the band of terrorists is what makes one a better person than the
other if nothing else.

Montavilla47:

Snape joined the Order of Phoenix, too.

Alla:

Was I really that unclear in what I was trying to say?  In case I really was, sure Snape joined Order of Phoenix AFTER spending some quality time  with the gang of torturers and murderers. And the only part of Snape that to me is worth any respect is for what he did for the Order.



Marion:

Ever heard the story of the Good Samaritan? The Samaritans were vilified
people to the ancient Hebrews. Why? Because they believed in a different
god, and were Different and Just Creepy an' Weird and a minority as well.
Well, the parable of the Good Samaritan attempted to show that it doesn't
matter what people believe, it matters what they DO. <SNIP>

Alla:

Yes, I did. Does it mean that you compare Death eaters to Good Samaritans? The analogy does not work for me. 


Marion:
<HUGE SNIP>
What was so wonderful about James Potter's beliefs that excused his
abhorrent behaviour? <SNIP>

Alla:

If nothing else – the fact that he fought in the Order that tried to make WW a better place, that tried to make sure that Voldemort and Co will never be in charge.

Marion:
<SNIP>
What you Belief is far
more important than what you Do. If you belong to the 'bad guys', you are
subhuman, should 'know your place' (nod your head submissively to the
Superior Ubermensch)
I'm sorry, but this is a very dangerous and insidious set of beliefs, and
I will have no part in them.

Alla:

Yes, people who belong to DE to me are bad evil guys, I guess we have to agree to disagree.
