[QUOTE="kenjib, post: 838431, member: 530"] Does redemption make a prior act of evil no longer evil? No. It grants forgiveness but does not change divine morality. And why would someone morally pure risk that precipice in the first place? This person is consorting and bargaining with a force of pure evil. Not an evil creature, but a creature created of the very stuff of evil and driven to corrupt and damn every other thing to the full extent of it's power. In my opinion, if there is no grave risk of evil coming from such an act (if nothing else to start the cycle, simply the seduction of power and pride), then the demon is not being played properly. Demons never play fair and they never give anything for free. Summoning the demon in the first place is intentionally opening the door for evil to occur. Anyone with enough knowledge to summon a demon surely knows this. Isn't intentionally increasing the chance for evil things to happen an evil act? Demons want to be summoned. They want to strike bargains. Anyway, just my opinion on the matter. :) [/QUOTE]
