I'll give you 10,000 dollars if you can answer this question and in the process proving it.

to live is evil

If you had 10k I would break my head.

Evil is an opinion.

Evil is the exact opposite of a perceiver's idea of good. It's pretty simple actually.

Do you want my PayPal email or would you rather send a check?

evil is dangling money in front of poorer people than yourself, and asking them to do something impossible to get it.

Evil is an imaginary friend we created to play with...

*takes bow*

Where's meh moneyz?

Everything on earth must have an opposite, otherwise we wouldn't now anything. Good must have an opposite, for us to know what good is?
Make sence?

You have to PROVE it.

Evil is the opposite of Live-Life.

Those things which promote Life are "Good"
Those things which promote death are "Evil"
All a matter of definitions.

Think about something good and then something evil - it's then proven. You are the point of reference.

Where's my money??

Forgot to add, "and you can't prove and opinion."

Evil is a fluid concept different for every individual. No two individuals can agree 100% on what is evil.

So to answer your question Evil is anything you as an individual claims it to be because there is only one you.

Now that I have answered your question & told you why, please send to me my $10,000 that you have legally bound yourself to do by posting this contractual agreement here.

You never said you had to like the answer.

Evil is a concept of disappointment in one's self that is expressed by others.

Evil = To KNOWINGLY HARM.And if you have an once of humanity...that is all the proof you need.

Death is not evil. Death is as innocuous as life. Death happens during the seasons when leaves fall off the trees, it happens at night when the sun goes down. Death happens when we change thoughts.

Evil is an opinion. Totally subjective.

evil is a choice.
thats what makes it so bad.

The anithesis of Good - will I send my bank details now?

Death happens to all life, but for you to be an agent of it in the absence of necessity, you become an agent of evil.

Evil is something manifested in the mind.

Evil started off being fear of the unknown. Then it became many things, things not understood, racism, all still based on fear. Then as people learned more, it became things of value, and lust of things. From there it evolved even further, and not accepting things that another person feels different about, next was hatred. Then came regret, the if only, the wasted energy/energies, of those who tried to harness it. In the end evil comes down to what one thinks of another. If it's not good, then it is evil, right or wrong is up to the individual.

Pay the man.

Evil is denying of one's godness inside of oneself.
Why: Because of if one is denying godness within oneself, it will lead false action, thoughts and thinking. In that case one is not pursuing "telos".

You can not PROVE evil because the idea of EVIL itself is based on faith.

Any so called "proof" of the existence of evil would be solely dependent upon those who want the proof.... their race, religion, background...etc

Personally, I do NOT believe in "evil.

Can not be proven until you give your idea of what is good. Then a opposite can be shown to you

All you need do to decide if something is good or evil is play a simple game called good thing/bad thing...


Good thing: helping an old lady across the street.

Bad thing: Pushing the old lady under a moving bus.

Top Man Butch - thanks

Evil is an illusion the same as good is an illusion the idea of them was introduced to peoples minds (according to the Bible through the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil) They are concepts that poison the minds of men and women, cause racism, sexism, all forms of division and hate.
Without these concepts people would do what comes natural.
They would create, live and die free from hangups, fear and mental illness. Do as you will would be the extent of the law.
Society would turn to its simple roots and everyone would live like the "Godless heathen" primitive tribes known to go around naked simply living.
These primitive tribes don't know the difference between good and evil until missionaries come to teach them the difference between good and evil.
So there is my proof, scientific observation of primitive tribes.
For further proof that good and evil do not exist simply look at diverse populaces from different cultures.
Look at their belief systems and what is considered taboo.
The Muslims believe it is evil for woman to show their faces.
The Amish believe it is evil for woman to show their legs, or hair.
Catholics believe you can do anything but you better apologize to God for it.
So there is no single standard in all cultures of what evil is and what good is, only dogmas perpetuated by civilizations.
So it becomes obvious that if there is no standard of good and evil then good and evil must be created false concepts.
So everyone quit teaching people about good and evil.
If you are a christian and you teach about good and evil you are spreading the lies of Satan himself. Remember he tempted Eve to eat of the tree so if you pass the knowledge you are as guilty as her.
You can keep your money even though you will not find a more airtight definition of good and evil anywhere.
