Frank and Catherine in “Gehenna”

It seems that the old biblical concept of the devil's influence has lost any currency.

I just think the language has changed. I think science and psychology have given us a clearer idea of why people commit evil acts. I see it everyday, abused kids become abusive adults.

So the true source of evil is us.

You mean, are we all capable of it?

Or is there something out there - a force or a presence - waiting until it can create another murder, another rape, another holocaust.

I think it's something that everyone who looks deeply at life wonders.

What would you tell a child? What would I tell Jordan?

Maybe you should just tell her good-night.
