It always does. I have faith.
My faith in God is unshakeable, even though till date, I have not experienced any miraculous incident that makes me feel the presence of a higher power. But the trust in God has been engrained into my psyche since my childhood.

A good villain exudes charisma and power. He has principles, though; that just gives him a level of dimension.
