Love is the cure to evil

Rebuttals:The novel gives us insight into beliefs through time; I see it just as relevant as your mention of the Bible.People in prison have committed crime; crime is often regarded as immoral behaviour, which is what the definition in round one set out: "Evil: a person who has done something morally bad, such as causing harm or injury to someone else."Some evil people are indeed from loving homes, but the source I provided in round two has evidence that confirms most murders, rapes and crimes commonly associated with evil are committed by people who did not come from loving homes. [1]I am afraid that my opponent has failed to offer anything but unfounded conjecture -- her personal opinion back without evidence or source.Further contention:Building upon round two, I would like to add that there are numerous examples of victims saving themselves from attackers -- murderers and rapists (who are considered evil under our definition) -- by showing them false compassion and love, which throws the attacker off track and stops them from finishing what they planned to do. I hypothesise that this works due to building friendships (despite false); an attacker is likely not thinking about the victim as a person, but rather a piece of meat. When the victim talks to the attacker and treats him with love, the whole dynamic of the situation changes and the attacker feels guilty, thus stopping the violence altogether.Here is one high-profile case from the UK that I can remember from the top of my head, but there are many more out there:Jessica Price: Followed down the street by a stranger, she decided to turn around and ask him the time, then thanked him and continued to walk and be followed. Seconds later she was strangled from behind and dragged into a secluded area. She managed to convince him she would not make a sound and then, despite not smoking, asked for some of his cigarette when he lit one. She then got chatty and told her attacker that he should have asked to talk if he was that desperate:“I said, ‘You should have just said something to me if you wanted to talk’. His whole ­attitude began to change as he started chatting with me."The attacker apologised for scaring her. It was later revealed that he had already raped and killed before. [2]There are a vast number of examples of the above. Just the other day, I was watching an American true-life story program called 'I Survived' in which the woman managed to convince her attacker, who had just shot and killed her cousin, that she loved him. The attacker took her back to his house and looked after her and even let her call the police to call for an ambulance (and thus catching the man). It was truly a miraculous tale of love (despite being false) conquering evil. I only wish I had a source to cite here, but I am unable to find the specified person online.Conclusion:I have proven that love, as defined in the first round, can irrefutably 'cure' evil acts, which is to say that evil itself can be cured. All I had to do to win this debate was to prove that it was possible for love, in some cases, to cure evil. I believe I have done this.Thank you for the debate. :)[1] - hhttp://www.crimelibrary.com...[2] - http://www.mirror.co.uk...
