What is Evil? is there such thing? is there even a good or a bad, a light and a dark. Does evil describe, or does evil exist? What can be classified as evil? Is evil truly wrong other than the fact that it hurts others? is evil a mindset, or a noun? is it even there? describe evil, talk about it.

Evil isn't real. Rather, it is a lack in things. Evil is when the good that is supposed to be there isn't.

I don't particularly think evil exists. It is a human concept that, when you come down to it, means 'something that I personally find wrong'. The universe has no concept of good or evil and nor does nature.

Neither the universe nor nature have any concept of anything. They don't think.

All right, evil is an arrangement of four letters, none of which repeat, that is normally used to describe something that one does not see as, or see as lacking, qualities that are seen as good.

I call "evil" someone who hurts someone else for personal gain.

Exactly possum - there are no 'laws' of nature that define good or evil. Evil is a concept that us sentient and sapient beings decided upon creating. Or, if you're religious - God created evil.

No he didn't. God made free will. Please don't say things like that, it'll turn this into an argument about religion.

oppression.


Either elaborate on that, or just admit it was spam.

The Dungeons and Dragons (Version 4) describe "Evil" as Tyranny and Hatred, Chaotic Evil is Entropy and Destruction, Good is Freedom and Kindness, Lawful Good is Civilization and Order, and Unaligned is Having no Alignment; not taking a stand. Hope that helps...

Obviously you know nothing, or are just ignorant to the facts of religion; but let's talk about religion in the designated section, and talk about evil in its designated section. (The tavern is evil)

their are common beliefs on what evil is and their are uncommon ones, going all the way down to an individual, perhaps try asking yourself what evil is and see what comes up.

ps- Apple, 4kids, McDonald, Illuminati, monkeys, and Republicans are evil

Evil is the absence of good, just as darkness is the absence of light.
