my answer is based on bible, so sorry if you think the bible's a fake.\n\nbut, the bible teaches that all people are inherently evil.  i think the only good people do is solely out of the grace of god.

What is your justification for stating that God is evil?  I mean examples. . . nothing that I can think of denotes evil

I do not "mindlessly" follow and obey God.  I am very mindful.  There is nothing in the Bible evil that God asks me to do.  *

I also continue to think about this subject. I have read many books in which one character is evil and one is good. Pro- and Antagonist. I have come to the conclusion that there is none such dilemma as to which is which and who is better. If you have an ideal can you really call it evil? People who are called evil are thought this way by their ideals and the actions that come of their ideals. Looking at it from the protagonist's view, the ideals the protagonists share are good and the antagonist's ideals are bad/evil. But from the view of the Antagonist, those views thought to be good are actually bad and those which are evil are really good.

I feel that the most evil acts are commited when someone feels they are doing nothing but pure good. Good and Evil, while they exist within us, are drawn amongst a thousand shades of grey. Even the most vilified psychotic (such as charles manson) felt what he was doing was infact "good". I consider myself to be someone who thinks of what is not only good for me, but others as well. In my opinion to be truly good, is to "catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar". To not do what is right just for "myself" but what is ultimately right for others to. Buddha said "if you do not live for others than you do not live" while I am not a religeous person (lol) I do agree with this statement to some extent. I think being good is having the common sence that you cannot commit good acts on the backs of people. Right now George Bush feels what he is doing is good and so does Osama Binladin, but billions of people disagree with both of them. Even if you ask the biggest creep on the planet if they think they are a good person they will say yes. I believe everyone has good in them and the potential to be good people, truly not just subjectively. So I guess what I am saying is their is subjective goodness and Objective goodness. Objective goodness is goodness in truth because you are able to say "how does this make others feel?" and think in the mindset of how people around you will react to the stimuli you feed them. I try to do what I feel is right. Just like anyone else. However am I a good person? I try not to ask myself that question and just be as I am.

Evil is the creation of the deity "god" plain & simple. He is the sole creator and therefore he created Satan and his crew. Sure he started out as an angel, but wouldn't the deity "god" see that one coming? His evil gives him something to do you know...so he won't feel useless.

Subject: Fw: Theory of Evil \n\n\n\n\n"Does evil exist? Did God create evil?" \nThe University professor challenged his students with this question: \n"Did God create everything that exists?" \n \nA student bravely replied, "Yes he did!" \n \n"God created everything?" The professor asked. \n \n"Yes sir", the student replied. \n \n        The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God \ncreated evil, since evil exists, and according to the principal that \nour works define who we are, then God is evil." \n        The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor, \nquite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven \nonce more that the religious faith was a myth. \n        Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a \nquestion professor?" \n    "Of course", replied the professor. \n \nThe student stood up and asked, "Professor does cold exist?" \n \n"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you \nnever been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's \nquestion. \n        The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. \nAccording to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in \nreality the absence of heat. Everybody or object is susceptible \nto study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes \na body or matter have or transmit energy. \n        Absolute zero (-460? F) is the total absence of heat; all \nmatter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. \nCold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how \nwe feel if we have no heat." \n        The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?" \nThe professor responded, "Of course it does." \n        The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness \ndoes not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light \nwe can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism \nto break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths \nof each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can \nbreak into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know \nhow dark a certain space is?    You measure the amount of light present. \nIsn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what \nhappens when there is no light present." \n        Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?" \nNow uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have \nalready said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's \ninhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence \neverywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil. \n        To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least \nit does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is \njust like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe \nthe absence of God. God did not create evil.  Evil is the result of what \nhappens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's \nlike the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that \ncomes when there is no light." \nThe professor sat down. \nThe young man's name -- Albert Einstein\n=====================================\nhttp://patriotfiles.org/america.htm

Evil is a choice. God made man, man made evil.

Something bad will happen today.  Something bad happens everyday.  I'm not just being glib.  Evil is present in the world and always active.  The question isn't, "will something bad happen?".  The question is, "will good people do something about it?"

No person is greater than God. Nor were you ever promised a rose garden while here on this plane of existance. We are all here to develop our soul so that when we pass from this plane of existance to the next, we will be more prepared. Is it all understandable? At some levels, yes. Is there evil in the world? Absolutely. Did God create everything? Yes. And is everything around us, good and bad, something everyone can comprehend as being part of our learning experience? Unfortunately not. \nBy the way, God does not condemn people. Sexuality, immorality, sin . . . all are forgiven when our physical body dies and our soul moves on. I didn't say it would all seem to make sense. We are loved. We are forgiven. We are given challenges to help us grow. And we are told through the Manifestations of God that we are never alone here.

Why not?  Certainly God did and commanded things in his own Bible that we would consider unforgivably evil:  Genocide, mass murder, plagues on innocent people, forcing a woman to marry her rapist, killing a woman who is raped in town because she obviously didn't yell loud enough, endorsing slavery, ad infinitum.  Perhaps your Bible is the best lie of all.  There's no way to tell, and Satan is waiting for you on the other side!

Yes I do. Both good and evil. The bible says we fight against powers and principalities.

I don't believe so.  I'm not much into gray areas...I think in terms of good and bad...no inbetween.  Evil is evil and thats that.
