What is evil? Honestly, how do we know what is evil, and what is good? If we say murder is evil, somewone could honestly believe not to murder is evil. Also with beliefs somewone believes a religion is wrong or evil, well that person thinks the same thing about the other. I don't think you can know what's right and wrong unless you have an ultimate standard of perfection. I believe God has set the ultimate standard of perfection for us, but we are not perfect and we fail to meet this standard. What do you guys think?

good & bad are perspectives.

Darth Vader had a good plan to unite the universe till the rebels came and destroyed all he worked for!

any opposite to any god is evil.

Some Muslims hate Jews, and murder them because they believe thats what their god wants them to do. Do you think that is good?

not for us, but for some muslims they may find it good. it may be evil for us but it isnt necessarily evil for them. evil is an opinion, not a fact.

Evil is subjective, not something you can define.

Personally, I believe that evil is non-existent. Just because the majority of people currently say murder is wrong, in the future it could change. You can't define something as evil unless 1) it is impossible to commit the act with a positive intent, 2) everyone views the act as "evil", and 3) everyone will always view the act as evil.

Evil is the absense of good. But what is good? How do we know what is good? What we think is good others think is evil so can it realy be good?

it is abnormal to you because it wasn't accustomed to the culture surrounding you as you grew up.

people regularly eat snakes and monkey brains.
