We are inherintly born into an evil nature. A fallen nature of canality. You have only to take a true look at the way you were raised in this world to know that it is true. What were you schooled and trained for? Success in the world, get an education, a good job, grab the golden ring and be happy for the rest of your life with that gold watch in your pocket! Oh and get married have kids and raise them in the same way seeking the same goals. None of it works. If it did it would be a perfect world. What happens here is that many people beleive the illusion to the point that they think having more is the root of their happiness. So in the search of self gratification they go from wicked ways to all out evil somewhere along this line. For some it's the search for power througth more money and more money and more money. Where does it end it has no end. Nothing that is self serving can ever fill a person so they keep on from one little rush to the next. There are many paths into evil for some it is self gratification through sex or hate or.......... the list goes on.\nMy point is we are born into a world that  is ruled by evil and we are groomed to serve it and it's ways. Unless some kind of divine intervention happens or some type of wake up call! Without this a person can not begin see the prison bars that have been placed around them or the ball and chain on their ankels. They die living in and serving evil and it's ways..................... forever and ever.......... \n\nWelcome to the real world Neo............

lol good question i have thought bout this how do we know waht's good and whats evil ... we all have dif views so good and evil could never be 100% just. What i think is good you might think it is evil, what you think is good i might think it is actually evil.  But we do agree on alot of things as humans there is plenty of comon ground so to speak that is how we consider good from evil.

I think religion often hurts humanity. If people took the core message of "treating others the way they would like to be treated" and got away from the "us vs. them" mentality the world would be a much better place...\nAs for the second part of your question, I believe the moment you go a notch above BASIC Catholicism (Born Again), Judaism (Orthodox- Ultra or Modern) or Islam (fundamental) I'd say you're flirting with fanaticism....

I don't think that they are "evil". I have never got the impression that other people thought that either. \nThe stereotype that they are stupid is often correct though.

There is no general "classification". The view of a "good person" is as individual the individual himself. You have to make up your own mind as to what that is, as does everybody. There is really no point in just grasping the sociological standard of any opinion, including what can be classified as a good person.

What is natural?...What is normal?...We dont have a clue here on Earth. 99 percent of the humans here could care less..they are so caught up in Greed. We are primitive..most dont even know what their own existance is all about..Death is mearly part of life..our time is short here in Human form. the scariest thing is how intelligent we CLAIM we are..our entitys may exist forever, thankfully not as Humans..were a curious crowd..but not too bright!!!..lol..Ghosts?...thats just scratching the surface.

Good and evil is a matter of perspective.  Typically, good/evil is regarded as what is beneficial for society.  Of course, what is beneficial for a society varies on a bunch of different factors.\n\nAn example is that in the artic, euthanasia was regarded as good.  The society did not have the resources to care for elderly that were infirm.\n\nAnother:  Homosexual marriage is considered evil in some parts of the United States, but in Ancient Greece, the Spartan warriors encouraged homosexual behavior.\n\nSome major religions list some things as "sinful"; but the entire idea of divine justice/punishment is unnecessary.

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.

Evil is as evil is perceived.  As a counselor, I have found that too many people judge the world from their own character faults.  Those who feel the US is evil fear freedom, because it holds them responsible for their own actions.  They fear democracy because the are so unsure of themselves, they cannot believe that others are capable of making wise choices.  Or, they are just so STUPID as to think THEY know it all and therefore ought to be the ones to rule the earth.  Anyway you look at it, anyone who cannot see how well off we are in this country has a whole lot more problems then we can address here.  What really scares me is the attitude of the news media toward democracy.  It affords them all they have, yet they act as if it is the greatest curse we could offer the world.  Let all the news commentators who feel it is foolish to try to give others the opportunity to govern themselves go to Iran, or North Korea, or Darfor.

We are the face of evil to about 95% of the world right now. We think it's OUR job to define evil for everyone else. If we wanted to rid the world of evil we'd look for bin Lade, not waste our time and lives in iraq.

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.

Unfortunately, yes.  Good and Evil are human attributes, so an evil person is one of us, as much as we'd like to disown him.

My religious viewpoint is agnostic.\n\nI don't see any human reproductive technology as being evil, though it can certainly be abused.\n\nThe most important issue to me that the children that result from the technology must be viewed AS REAL CHILDREN and raised by a real family as a real member of that family.\n\nGiven that - all is well.

I don't think there is an actual "devil". I think the "devil" is a just a way for us to apply a bad face to evil acts. I think humans need God as humans have been worshipping dieties for tens of thousands of years and nearly 90% of the world believes in a diety in some form.

I don't think that any being/spirit is completely negative.  And I feel that all beings/spirits are capable of some maliciousness.
