truth be told, this probably isn't the greatest time to make a new news post. it's almost seven AM and I'm exhausted. that having been said, I'm inspired so I'm making one anyway.
unfortunately, this is interactive and I have so few people posting so it probably won't be much fun...
even so, I have a question to ask, even if it is heard by no one.
What is evil?
in your opinion, make makes any particular person, act or circumstance evil?
does it have anything to do with the seven deadly sins and their connection to the human heart? is incest evil because it is somehow lustful? is murder evil for greed or wrath rather than the sanctity of a human life?
of course not... but tell me then. what is evil and why?
emotional answers will suffice but I'd rather see logic to be honest.

nothing is truly evil for in at least one persons mind everything we humans do is good and will not be thought of as evil for example murder can be rationalized by some for reasons unknown to others or incest can be ratioanalized by the ones commiting it so it truth evil doesnt truly exist
that's partially true anyway... true evil exists within one person for something, even though through new eyes, that same event may be perfectly natural.
but my real question is, how do certain things become evil that aren't directly harmful to society or the people within it?
because yes, society's find certain acts evil... that much is obvious.
evil is opposite of good, short answer i believe in God and what God said is evil its because he created everything and really who are we to argue with the creator. Btw your weird, i think you and me could become good friends. if you got xbox live send me a message, be warn i spend alot of time on it. ALSO
I don't see eye to eye with you, but I respect your opinion :)
after all, there are so many people that have worshiped so many gods with so many different moralities.
personally, I'm an omnist. for the record, that means I believe all of the gods exist.
actually, I'm going to make my belief system my next news post ^.^

A perspective
as vague as that is, it definitely classifies the concept of morality.
evil isn't real. being a sick bastard is though.
being a "sick bastard" is no more real than being evil...
unless of course you're referring to a physically ill child whose parents were not married at the time of said child's birth.
more or less yeah
just as much.
both standings are within the eye of the beholder.

Evil is merely a perception made by man/god. In one society, an evil act is completely acceptable and good to another. Of course, in most societies, murder is considered an evil act.
In truth, morality was developed so a society can live.

I like your answer :)
it certainly holds more depth than most of the answers I was expecting to receive on Newgrounds
thank you for contributing.
