Amazing... I have been watching this thread and three pages in, no one has considered what the dictionary has to say on the nature of evil. Why?

Evil is defined as an intentional act of immorality which causes suffering and harm. So evil has three qualities... it must be intended... it must be immoral... it must have negative consequences of harm and/or suffering.

This narrows the focus of evil upon those with the capacity to understand morality and immorality at the time of the action. If you lack that ability to understand morality/immorality and intend an act which causes harm... you are not evil... most likely you are an animal hunting or a human who is mentally impaired either through age, genetics or insanity.

If a child of three shoots his brother dead... it is not evil because the child is mentally impaired due to age.
If a schizophrenic woman in the midst of an episode goes on a shooting spree... it is not evil because the woman is mentally impaired due to temporary insanity.
If a profoundly down syndrome man strangles another in a fit of rage... it is not evil because the man is mentally impaired due to genetics.

Well said Sappho. A voice of sanity amongst all these ramblings. I must add however, that good and evil cannot exist without each other. If all evil were suddenly banished from the world, would good be what is left, or is it the fact we have a choice that defines good and evil?

Am I making sense here? Undecided

I think you are definitely making sense, but I disagree with you anyway. Wink

I believe that for Ethics to exist, we need to create concepts of good, wrong and evil actions based on human social and antisocial behaviours and motivated by our personal experiences with the sensations of physical and emotional pleasure and pain.
