Goodbye,
it was a pleasure,
but it was too early.

Yes I believe there is evil

Evil is not just something different from what I believe, but I think that evil exists, just as good exists.

Yes. It's reserved for people who disagree with me.

Evil would be a relative concept.. depending on the situation and circumstances. A three year old is self centered by necessity and developement... "Self centerdness" is a necessary stage. A self centrered powerful adult may be called an egomaniac or a dictator..could be "evil". Evil though is a negative concept that has no intrinsic power by iitself I believe...

Evil? Just a convenient term that describes extremes of undesirable behaviour. Not an entity in itself, nor an absolute moral position.

Just because...

...people in general conversation tend to be slipshod in their use or terms and concepts, that does not mean the concepts are not valid concepts, nor that the reality described by the terms is more or less questionable than any other reality.


Human behavior may be "relative", and human good and evil rather debatable, at times (but not always). But the fact that most of us rarely venture anywhere there is total darkness does not mean that total darkness doesn't exist. To believe otherwise may give some comfort, but is not particularly reasonable.

Evil describes willful, immoral acts. It also serves as a blanket term for bad things. Evil (disambiguation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Perceived evil is there if you make it there.

I will agree with EP in that not all of us go to the 'total dark side'. But using the definition above from Wikipedia, premarital sex technically is evil because it is immoral and definitely willful.

In this case I should be greatly feared. Mu Hahahaha

Love has no opposite

So there is no such thing





It just appears that way while we give that idea the power

Withdraw the power which is your belief in it and it dissapears
