@RDGStout 1/2 Yes, destroyers of worlds, too. Proverbs 26: 17-28 exposes 'sins of speech' in this regard. Indeed, the 'evil disguised as good' of calumny - speech "set on fire by hell itself" (James 3:6) - typifies the deliberate (and often, _only_ available) mode for murdering the good.

@M_David_Osborne @VividVoid_ An absolutely crucial observation, Mike. Never mind calumny, most folk are a mass of unconscious shadow projection, also largely unaware how commonly speech seeks to establish a chain of alienation in the innermost heart of another, to tear apart the fabric of relations itself.
