| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1018225 United States02/28/2012 03:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1018225 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. Free your mind |

Why – Because he is the founder of the "Get" way of life. He decided he wanted to be the “supreme being” and everything should serve him. He decided he could to it better than he one who created him and he will do ANYTHING to make His Reality come true. When you live by the “Get Way” it does not matter who or what you hurt or destroy to get what you want. |

Quoting: BRIEF Good thing: helping an old lady across the street. Might not be - perhaps she didnt want to cross the street Bad thing: Pushing the old lady under a moving bus. Might not be perhaps she wanted to die The only possible and truthful answer for this anyone can give is "I don't know". All we can do is speculate. It could be accidental, or it could be a secret message, or it could be a method of mind control, or it could be something else. But evil is live backwards, yes. The words "lived & devil", "evil & live" open the Pandora box for philosophers, religious commentators and critics of Christianity. However, at the end of the day, no one really knows, and it can be just another funny thing about the English language, though it is quite strange that this language has so many "funny" and often disturbing things when words are read backwards. For eg, "God" is "Dog" read backwards. Maybe, it tells us the obverse side of everything. That every truth is truth only when there is an opposing lie. That "evil" is "evil" only cos it can be compared with the "not evil". But as I said... all this is speculation, no one really knows. Read more: [link to wiki.answers.com] |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 11605731 United States02/28/2012 03:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Evil is our preception of the negative aspects of this dualistic world we call home. There is no true evil because everything happens just as it should but the way that we precieve evil is the amount of negative karmic actions that one coninues to do. Good and evil are just perceptions that we have upon the world because we have a dualistic mindset while we are here on earth. |

It is the intention to act that is evil or good. Even though the same act and the same result may occur, the intent of the action may be good--or evil.

What our concept of evil has evolved into is a product of our nature and social constructs and concepts. Generally speaking, that which is evil is that which is counter to our evolutionary flourishing. Much of the proof lies within an undestanding of our genetic and social evolution. |
