You're confusing method with motive.
In this case, method is what matters though. Our point is basically that, if you're gonna rape a baby to get back at someone, that makes you evil - it's not necessarily your thirst for revenge that drives you to evil, but the actions you commit. Bringing Rael back to the world is so much worse than baby raping that they're like the difference between a 1.0 and 11.5 magnitude earthquakes - both are tragic, but one is just bad while the other is world-endingly horrifying.
