when people have harmful beliefs their intentions will be 'good' because they believe harmful things will lead towards good. a lot of fundamentalists are like this, like they might believe disciplining their children leads them to becoming good Christians or good adults. but when you look at what their actions are, they abuse their children and it leads to traumatized people and/or people who reenact the abuse. We can honestly say that they didn't intend any harm. It doesn't matter what they intended.
