Servants of darkness are like puppets on a string, with no conscience or empathy. Servants of the light are free will individuals, who have an awakened conscience and empathy for all living things, even those who commit atrocities.
That doesn't mean that those lost to darkness should not be put down, if necessary, but it means they are treated as a living, feeling being while they are alive.
As the Master of our age said:
[Love for Enemies]
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[a] and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
MATTHEW 5:43-48. NIV
