If you counted the number of murderers in the world (go ahead, count every single one of them up), I doubt you would find even a million of them. But let's say there are something like 10 million cold blooded murderers in the world. Now that just leaves something on the order of…I don't know…about 6.8 BILLION other non-murderers.

Count all the rapists and you'll get the same thing.

There are more people in a Wal-Mart here in Reno than there have been serial killers in the entirety of humanity. The sheer number of people who do not do evil on a daily basis (for instance, you and I) trump — overwhelmingly — that minority that does.

If you met someone who commits one murder a week, you wouldn't think “well for the rest of the week he does all kinds of non-evil acts,” you would say “this is a bad person.” You can't compare the sheer number of good vs evil acts, you have to weigh how powerful a single evil act can be. a hug doesn't cancel out a murder. The inflation adjusted amount of evil in the world is considerably higher than you give credit for.

When I look at people and all the evil in the world, I strongly believe that people are bad.
