What makes us god or evil? I believe there is no evil or good. All I know is that there are good intentions. They we you try to pull them off determines’ if you are good or bad. With that said do you agree with this? But if you do why do, you agree is it because you like the method or the idea. An example of what I am talking about would be Hitler’s vision for the world. Hitler wanted to create a world of people who where geniuses. The thing is that you can’t have a group or a city with all starts. They would all see that there way is right. You need the common man to help out right? I do believe he had a great vision for his earth except he showed it in a wrong way and he used methods that should have not be done. So do you think there is good and evil and don’t be mistaken there is no gray ereas.

yes i do the dictionary descibe evil as something morally bad or harmful and there are things we hav all done as human beings that are wrong no one is saint and about the hitler ting i dont tink he meant well in my opinion, as stupid this may seem we do need evil or bad ppl. if life was a bundle of roses it would be boring so yes i do tink there is such a ting as good and evil they are need for balance in society. What makes us evil is a though one to ans but i tink it all boils down to values instilled into us as children by our parents and elders however tho sometimes children are still bad even tho they hav that guidance from their parents it just means that some1 or thing has greater influence on that child.

Evil is something that you think is inappropriate. It's taught to us, by literature, television and daily speech.

Good and evil do not exist as inseparable, objective absolutes. Without one the other could not exist, as if everyone was good then good behavior would be considered normality. No other condition would exist, and therefore it would be impossible to distinguish it from a fundamentally uncolored perception of the world.

Good and evil are constructs of human thought and exist only within our experience as sentient, sapient beings. Wild tigers rip people apart and eat them sometimes, but they are not evil because they lack the capability to comprehend that eating people is wrong. Dogs are faithful and loving creatures not because they know that it is good to be compassionate, but because it is part of their nature. There are no giant stone tablets at the center of the universe that detail what is Absolute Good and Absolute Evil, no equations that reveal their truths.

Different people define good and evil in different ways. The Aztec culture sacrificed prisoners of war by ripping their hearts out of their chests because they thought the sun would not rise the next morning without that blood. In modern America, this would be looked upon as a horrific, senseless slaughter.
