Please allow me to introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste I've been around for a long, long year Stole many a man's soul and faith And I was 'round when Jesus Christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game I stuck around St. Petersburg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank Held a general's rank When the blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name What's puzzling you Is the nature of my game I watched with glee While your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the gods they made I shouted out, ";Who killed the Kennedys?"; When after all It was you and me Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I laid traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reached Bombay Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name But what's confusing you Is just the nature of my game Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners, saints As heads is tails Just call me Lucifer 'Cause I'm in need of some restraint So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste Use all your well-learned politesse Or I'll lay your soul to waste Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name But what's puzzling you Is the nature of my game

You have obviously never seen what pure evil can do. It's all relative . You can always find something worse than any example....that thread just happen to hit close to home. Yeah I understand. I met a piece of walking waste one time who had killed in various brutal way at least 36 age 12 and under children boys and girls (he did not have any appeal for any children that were hitting puberty. In his words he was doing "what must be done" after he would rape and torture the children he would kill them in various ways to see how they would die. I say at least 36 because that is the bodies that were found and he openly admitted he killed many more. Special place in Hell or whatever after life shit hole for that piece of shit. To this day I still remember the mass graves that were excavated with these precious lives that had been snuffed out for what? I can even recall the smell in my mind it is burned into my head for the rest of my life. |

I think evil exists, but not in the sense many do. I'm not a religious person, but I can say that I felt the evil on the grounds of Auschwitz. I can't describe it other than it was there, and it was extremely unsettling. I've never been to a place like that anytime before or afterwards. |

Evil is an adjective, not a noun.
Evil is a word that we use to describe acts which are abhorrent to our society. So, does Evil exist like a rock or tree? No. Do people commit acts of viciousness, malice and brutality which are best characterized as Evil? Absolutely. Are there people who are so depraved, calloused and merciless that they themselves are best categorized as Evil? You bet!

IMO, evil does not have any kind of objective existence. it is a concept created by humans to identify behavior that they find the most disagreeable. Evil is a figment. A very purposeful figment in many cases. It's often about a bit more than behaviors. |

Evil is a word used to describe actions perpetrated by man. IMO, evil does not exist in nature...animals kill out of necessity, defense, territory, etc. They don't go out and stalk/kill for pleasure. This was a practice developed by humans as we evolved, and 'evil' is the word we use to define our behavior.
Evil is a possibility in everyone - attribute it to whatever (devil, chemical make-up, etc.) but man is capable of it. What makes a person good (in my opinion) is the moral compass that keeps them from committing evil, or recognizes when they do and vows to never do it again. Scary, the shit man has conjured up. |

I have another question, does God exist?
If so, then we know that God is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient and completely good. If that is so, then why does evil even exist? Because man has free will. And sometimes men chose evil. Yet God, for some reason, refuses to interfere with evil. Consider the Paris shootings - the BGs AKs did not jam, nor did they miss their targets. The answer is yes, the devil, the evil, etc all are very real and that raises the question: "Where is God"? |

They are just a bunch of incompetent boobs with more power than sense and think they are free to do what they please. A couple border agents were killed by a weapon sold in some stupid scheme the government thought would somehow help them track weapons. They used the IRS to fuck with political openents. Both actions are completely unacceptable and stupid, but not exactly on the scale of sadistic torture, mass murder or genocide..... |

For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility. "opposition in all things" is exactly what came to mind for me, too.
