The worst thing about good people is they honestly can't even comprehend evil. Part of me wishes the world was full of such people, but then I remember that the entire world could then be enslaved by a single evil person.
It's a shame they had to lose their lives because they didn't understand truly evil people exist. But just as you sometimes can't fix stupid, you also can't make people understand things they can't relate to. Truly evil people will never understand what it is to be good and sometimes really good people can't understand what true evil is.
I try to be good, but not so good that I fail to understand evil exists. But at least their example may serve as a warning to other "good people."

How do you know they didn't? I seem to remember a school full of Amish kids accepting their own slaughter because of their beliefs when one bad person came for them.

Well if the premise is that these poor murdered people believed that people are good then they evidently didn't believe or maybe even read what the God I know said about fallen humanity. Must have been operating under a different set of propositions.
As for the Amish, they are pacifists. They would not resist violence with violence. The Anabaptists I have spoken to do understand evil and humanity's propensity toward it.

And the point remains that there are many people who believe in God who still believe that there is good in everyone or won't resist violence with violence. So unless they specifically cited their beliefs, we shouldn't make assumptions, it's bad enough they died because they believed people are basically good.
Plenty of people doing missionary work in places every bit as dangerous who believe their faith alone will save them, I wish it was always true. Of course I wish people everywhere were "basically good" but I know that isn't the case.

Yes it is my assertion that to believe that people are good is so gross an error in understanding what the Bible teaches about sin and sinners that it would indicate unbelief or a situation of never reading the scriptures at all. It's that plain.
