Let's say there isn't a God. Does absolute evil exist? What about absolute good? I think that evil is a point of view. It may come from someone's moral stand point or possibly a genetic makeup. What are your thoughts?

Good and evil is a mere creation of man. Man is a beast of intelligence that banded together with its members to create a civilization. Man, in each of his own tribe, created rules to follow. These rules were put in place to keep order and help the tribe grow. Those who broke it were punished and look at as "evil."

Good and evil is merely a way to help man's tribe to flourish and help man survive.

No, because the whole point of good and evil depends on opinion, like not everyone thought hitler was evil. His wife didnt.

Wow, the irony is so rich here it is unbelievable. The definition of evil is that which goes against the will of God. The fact you believe there isn't God is proof that YOU are evil. How can evil believe that it doesn't exist? LOL!

Abosulte evil?

well because what people find are bad usually are evil while to others they could be a good thing.

So yes and no. No, I dunno if there is something that EVERYONE who ever lived would say was evil but someone can choose what he thinks is abosolute evil to him and only him and itll count.

You are an unemployed teenager telling the bbs lies

And what you say is truth?

Nor evil or good depend on opinion, as I said before they are simply parts of life that we cope with daily.

Right/wrong. Evil and good do rely on opinion, they are just names we give to said situations we live through. Some people might call one experience evil and another good.

And I'm sure to a certain extent Eva thought that Adolf had gone insane, although you yourself cannot determine that because you did not give any supporting evidence and you don't have any anyway.

Insane=/= Evil.

Another post debunked

Not quite.

Evil exists but not as an entity or force but as a moralistic, sympathetic and empathetic outlook that has been harwired into our subconscious. We recognise an act of evil as being what we would not want to happen to us such as being robbed, raped, beaten up or killed simpley because they are unpleasant to us, we can all empathize with others and sympathize with others and since we wouldnt want any evil act happening to us we can emphasize with others and understand what it would be like for them and we symphasize with others because we know what it must be like for them and understand that it is unpleasant and so our morals are formed because we all know that if nobody commits acts of evil then nobody will have acts of evil commited against them and we all live in harmonious balance by following these morals.


If in doubt then set it on fire because fire is A if not THE answer and solution to absolutely everything.

are grizzly bears evil then?

cuz they would str8 up murder a human on the spot

no, thats just nature :|

i dont think nature can be evil or good. like viruses, parasites, sharks, etc...those are all bad. but i wouldnt call them evil. they are all driven by instinct. Humans are the only species who can question instinct.

It's generally a matter of opinion, but I think it exists.

I don't see many mentally stable people who think Hitler wasn't evil, or the things he did/was the reason for weren't.

Evil, yes, absolute evil, no. Being absolutely evil requires EVERYONE to believe that ones doing is evil. Hitler had followers who did his bidding...He was evil but not absolutely evil. Then again people worship the devil so i guess I'm wrong.

if you ever felt pain, not the small stuft but real emotional pain
when nobody gave you a change your whole life. but that one person who helped you in the worst of times,
the only person that loved you who give you the strangth to live on, killed right in front of you. you mite be thinking it as random gang violence, but it was from a person who has hurt you before.

so yes a person can be evil and good.

There is no right or wrong, good or evil. It's just someones opinion. All the movies make the villains to be complete maniacs that want to blow up the Earth for no reason. When somebody really evil comes, they'll probably have a reason.
