[arjuna]

Nice Avatar! Just about the right size for Walt.

Do you think evil can be beautiful?
Gouging out the eyes of this demon,
Disemboweling that monster,
Vaporizing the other mthfcker.
Beautiful acts of style and flourish!

Will you say yes to me, Yes?

[Yes]

YES!

Hello!

Here is what I consider to be the sources of evil.
For those of you who have already seen this list on other threads, I apologize for the repetition:

■ violation of instincts

Just as animals of other species establish an orderly society, our prehistoric ancestors established an orderly society. There may have been other animal species which did NOT establish an orderly society, but if there were, those species quickly went extinct.

Most likely, we arrived at the rules of "thou shalt not kill" and "thou shall not steal" long ago. If there was an occasional violation, the rest of the tribe quickly took care of it. This was long before know-it-all preachers started standing at the pulpit and talking down to us.

Heterosexuals are in the majority because heterosexuals can reproduce. Moreover, there is survival value in fear of the unknown, which is why heterosexuals reject homosexuals. Preachers can harp all they want to about homosexuality being "an abomination in the eyes of God," but that doesn't fool us Evolutionists one bit.

■ male instincts

No matter what the police, the court, the legislature, and the criminologists do, men will be more criminal than women for a long time to come. No matter what the preachers and the Sunday School teachers do, men will be more evil than women for a long time to come.

Men are in a double-bind. We carry the same law-and-order instincts as women, but we also carry violent and aggressive instincts which conflict with the law-and-order instincts. Without the violent and aggressive instincts, we could not have been good hunters and warriors.

Most of us do not work as hunters or warriors now, but our inner brains don't know that.

■ disparity between our evolutionary past and modern times

This disparity manifests itself in so many ways that I will have to subcategorize.

▶ disrespectful disagreement

Nothing would delight us more than to convert 미국 and Rteacher to Evolutionism. But they aren't going to convert as long as we keep insulting them. Nothing would delight 미국 and Rteacher more than to convert US to Creationism. But we aren't going to convert as long as THEY keep insulting US!

So why do we keep insulting each other?

Because our inner brains tell us that we are on the battlefield. In prehistoric times, there probably wasn't much intellectual discourse. Whenever there was strife, it was on the battlefield. So even today, every time we click onto this thread, our inner brains tell us that we are on the battlefield.

▶ bad habits

Can you name some things which are attractive but harmful? I can name a few:
alcohol, cigarettes, junk food, illegal drugs, and excessive TV and video.

Now turn it around and name some things which are unattractive but beneficial. Here again, I can name a few: schoolwork, hypodermic needles, dental operations, and medical operations.

All of these items have one thing in common--they weren't around a million years ago. If they were, our instincts would have adapted accordingly.

▶ sex hang-ups

In the extended family system, everyone grew up in an environment with people of all ages and both genders. Now that we live in the nuclear family system, we are not so richly blessed.

I wonder, then, if homosexuality, pedophilia, the sissy boy syndrome, the tomboy girl syndrome, the Oedipus complex, and the Electra complex are inventions of the nuclear family system.

▶ pollution

Why are we so ecologically unwise?

Because we don't love our great-great-grandchildren. In prehistoric times, there was no need to love someone who hasn't even been born yet, so why should we?

▶ abortion

In prehistoric times, we only loved people we could see. We can't see a fetus, at least not without modern technology. So what is the point of loving a fetus?

▶ war

Iran disagrees with us? Kill them! Iraq disagrees with us? Kill them!

This seems like an easy solution, as long as you don't think about the millions of innocent people who are affected. And those people are hundreds of miles away, so it is easy NOT to think about them.

Here again, we are indifferent to people whom we can't see.

▶ international relations

Why do we have so much trouble getting along with Koreans? And why do Koreans have so much trouble getting along with us?

Because in prehistoric times, modern transportation and communication did not exist. There was no need, then, to "love the whole wide world."

Most of the people you knew looked like you and talked like you. But what about those exceptions? If they spoke a different language, you couldn't understand them. Foreign language textbooks and cassette tapes were long in the future. If someone who looked different from you came up to you and said something nonsensical like "안녕 하세요,� you wouldn't know WHAT that meant!

The safest assumption would be that it means "I'm going to tear you limb from limb."

Hi tomato!

To begin with I should say as an atheist I don't actually believe there is such a thing as 'evil' (as it is commonly defined) in the universe. I believe humans are finite and imperfect, and therefore by definition incapable of being such absolutes as 'evil' (i.e. there is no truth, only interpretation). I think cruelty, selfishness, indifference to others' suffering (lack of empathy), vengeance and a whole range of related terminology is far more representative of the human dynamic than the word 'evil' anyway. Ignorance and miscommunication are often the root of the above.

Personally I think cruelty stems from the knowledge that we are going to die someday. We seem to be the only animals possessing such knowledge, which is so unbearable that we construct a fortress known in psychology as 'the ego' to cope and separate our day to day existence from that inevitable conclusion. However, most everyone is subconsciously subject to the pain of knowing they are going to die, and this pain is liable to bring on a sort of existential resentment towards life itself. In a sense it's as though life hurts us so we try to hurt life back, seeing it as something contemptible (the common idea of there being a superior 'after life' to come is a by-product of this way of thinking). This figurative revenge on life itself is the root of all cruelty I think. It's reactionary, and the solution seems to be 'rising above' and reaffirming life through creative processes. Thoughts?

You need immediate immersion in hedonism and narcissism. I recommend you contact Kim Jong Il immediately.

Yes: don't listen to any of this rubbish. People are evil for one simple reason: because I tell them to be.

You are three years-old, Yes? Did you know that you are too young to be tried for a crime? Do you have a younger sibling? If so, I suggest you suffocate her now, before she's too old to blame it on SIDS, and she starts taking a big chunk of your pie. You'll thank me for this advice later.
