lone,  I don't believe in evil. That is just me. Everyone can choose what they want to be believe. That is beauty of our country. The freedom of religion.I don't think I believe in evil either. # You don't "believe" in evil? But do you clearly see that evil is/has happened even daily all around us? |

Is it possible to discuss good & evil without throwing religion into it? There are many cultures who do not practice the same theological beliefs as you might - so if they do or do not believe in a higher power, they may still believe that good & evil co-exist.
If God keeps being brought into the discussion, it may get moved to the Religion board.

Yeah, it is taking a deep turn. I really don't know if it is possible to discuss good versus evil without religious/theological underpinnings. Some might say it exists or some not. But, when you get to "why" it may or may not exist, then each person pretty much will go to their core beliefs i guess. Maybe you want to move it to the religion board? That's your call SL.  |

Evil existed in man before man himself created religions. So yes, it can be discussed without religion. Tribes and pagan sects dating back thousands of years (who respected the earth and elements) had evil within them - long before religions were created.
Ancient Egyptians or Greeks for example - and even dating farther back than that, no doubt.

Evil is the absence of good. Just as dark is the absence of light.

But evil is subjective. I might think it's evil to shoot snakes and Later might think it's evil to judge people on welfare.  (wink) If we can't really define it, how would we be able to determine if it exists? What exactly do you think evil is? Is it subjective? You would find there are some evils that are just "subjective" akin to choosing to eat a carrot today versus celery? |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Getting tipsy might make my arguments sound very sensible to you Lone! Keep drinking until you are quietly nodding in agreement.   |
