The Concept of Evil?

[Fatal Dawn]

As best as I can word this: what do you feel is the true nature of evil itself? (Is it a force, the measure of an act, the measure of character, the absence of goodness, etc?) How do you define what is truly evil, on a broad and/or a particular level?

 

[DrLeftover]

you mean, besides

?

I've been trying to get it down to one sentence.

How's this?

To intentionally take action that directly harms, or commit inaction that allows said harm, to those that are innocent and unable to defend themselves against such harm.

i wouldn't claim "someone not trying to defend someone in harm" as evil.

So, to you, knowingly not acting to prevent somebody from harming an innocent, say, somebody who is defenseless, like a child or an elderly person, is perfectly fine and acceptable?

weather if it's right or wrong in people's eyes/views, it's not necessarily evil.

plus there's those people that can't help when they want to help.

those people that are actually harming those innocent children and elderly people are the real true evil if you want to get technical.

people might consider these as evil or an act of evil:

genocide
greed
slavery
unjust killings/murder
murder
abortion
imprisonment
rape
terrorism
abusing wildlife/pets, children and the elderly
hate and being hateful
being immoral
being vicious or thinking of
being malicious or thinking of
being wicked or thinking of
being corrupted or thinking of
being sinful or thinking of
wrongdoing
claiming of being God, or a supernatural being or force falsely or thinking of
acting upon evilness or one of the above

now, debate on.

 

[DrLeftover]

people might consider these as evil or an act of evil:
...
claiming of being God, or a supernatural being or force falsely or thinking of
acting upon evilness or one of the above

I would "debate on".

But I have no idea what that sentence means, outside of the Nation of Islam and its founder Wallace Fard Muhammad who claimed he was God, of course.

they are two separate listings of the list i posted of what people might consider is evil or act there of. (;

I could have worded this one a little better but look what happens when i do a little bold, underline and italic magic:

claiming of being God, or a supernatural being or force falsely or thinking of

And that would be Mr. Fard Muhammad, who, with assorted ones that followed him, including the current minister of the NOI, have done all of the above.

that whole video is factual, how is it propaganda if it's the truth of what he is saying?

You are fully capable of looking up the man who claimed he WAS God and went to Detroit to establish a version of Islam that was nothing more than Black Liberation Theology..

Well, it's a point. That I hate John Oliver and think he's not funny and is good at spreading propaganda.
