Ah ...the soft-shoe routine you can get from people who believe in the "inerrant" Bible - when a text clearly states something so awful that it must be re-re-reinterpreted.\n\nSo .. a word from our sponsor:\nIsiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I the LORD do all these things."\n\nAnd now let's hear the various (laughable) renditions of what "evil" means "in this context," or "the actual Hebrew means something totally different." - obviously it couldn't just mean "evil," .... could it? \n\nThere is no one answer to your question. Current theology, in a vain attempt at sidestepping the mystical trend that produced the citation above, holds that God did NOT do what He says He did, or that it's a "mystery to be revealed in the end to us all."

If it so EVIL ,why do all religions want you to give yours to them?\nGod certainly doesn`t need it .Supposedly he can make anything he wants.

the true nature of evil is to define the concept of good by being its polar oppisite

Genesis 3:4-5  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.\n\nThis was before she ate the apple, therefore evil existed before.  \n\nThis brings about a question of what exactly is evil?  God told Eve not to eat the apple, and look above at what Satan tells her ... what was the lie?  She was already like a god - already knew good from evil - she knew she wasn't supposed to eat the apple, and she didn't die.  If Satan is the master of all lies, then what was the lie?  Tell me, and you'll know what evil is.

"good" and "evil" are just words of the english language that humans created and humans define. they only mean what the general population wants them to mean

Money is the root of all evil

First, it isn't "money is the source of all evil".  It's "the  love of money is the source of all evil"\nThat, and sex crimes are only two of the many evils.  Genocide comes to mind, as another.  Plus more.

I agree.Man made concepts of good and evil.No matter how bad we may think something is,it is just an opinion,not the truth.No one can really determine what is really good or bad,they can only give their opinion.Many may say that God can judge what is Good or bad,but who can determine that the bible is the word of God?No one.\n\n\nEverything just is.\n\n"Nothing is Good or bad.It's our thoughts that make them so"\n\n-Shakespeare-\n\n\n"Who knows what is good and bad"\n\n-Lao tzu,the founder of Taoism\n\n\nThere is no absolute truth regarding morals.They are all opinions.

It depends, if you're materialistic. Some are miserable or unsatisfied, how can you explain those who are financially successful but in the end are trying to end their lives?Some may say that money is the root of all evil.Case in point, bank robberies and petty thievery.But it depends.Money is also the root of goodness when used for its purpose:ie, charities and donations.As one saying goes:"MONEY CAN BUY A FINE DOG BUT ONLY LOVE CAN WAG ITS TAIL."

The eschatological ramifications of evil's existence in the world today is that the Creator of all things, who has told us that He will not forbear the sins of man forever, is destined to return and pass judgment on His creation, which He foretold to us by prophesy in the New Testament as the time of Great Tribulation.\n\nAnd don't you think that if your going to use a 25 cent word that you should spell it correctly?

Money....money is the root of all evil.\nEverything revolves around money...what kind of house you have, what kind of clothes you wear, what kind of car you drive, what kind of people you hang out with....all these things are the things that people want so bad...everyone wants the best...everyone wants to fit in....so..the root of it all is how much money you have.

Ignorance is the root of all evil.  It shows its ugliness throughout history.  People believing that god has directed their leaders to kill.  Belief that different races are somehow inferior.  Follow blindly the advice of a religious leader, political leader, or even a friend.  Don't be ignorant.  No more witch hunts, suicide bombers, spanish inquisitions, genocide. Stop representing beliefs as fact.Question your leaders, and even your own beliefs.  If they don't stand up to the truth, reject them.  It's time for us to develop a new system of dealing with each other, based on today's reality.  I've started,  and I need your help.  Check out my blog on yahoo 360.
