Evil is a catch all term that people like to attach to anything and everything they disapprove of. I wouldn't even begin to attempt a definition based on all those perspectives. As far as I am concerned the word has lost its meaning due to its various incarnations and applications. Suffice it to say there are people in the world who do very good things and there are those who do very bad, unspeakable things. I don't know why they do it. They just do. I imagine it's much more complicated than just tacking on the word evil to them.

The answers on this thread are what happens when you try to attribute a single cause to a particular result.

Some things, and this includes the definition and causes of evil, are varied and complex.

Not all mental illness results in evil.

Evil exists in my opinion. It will act through others and cause chaos or worse. It has no body, it is spirit.

I have known people that had mental illness that never hurt anyone but was unable to function in everyday life.

I think someone needs to read the "Bible" again.

I certainly agree Sister but I was surprised to learn when reading through various threads through the years how many people here don't even believe the Bible, much less read it.

Yes, there was evil from the beginning of time.

You didn't know that there are several major religions of the world and each has its own holy book? Why should they read the Bible? And how do you know, unless someone here told you, who does or doesn't read or believe in the Bible. Even Christians have varied interpretations of what they read in scripture. News flash: America does not have a State religion.

I didn't want to derail the other thread about the pilot deliberately crashing the plane killing innocent people so I thought I'd start a thread.

What is your definition of evil? Do you believe it exists? Is evil nothing more than mental illness?

YES evil exists and it is not to be confused with Mental Illness!!! They are not one in the same!

People who do evil have no conscience they have no remorse in what they do!

ETA: BTW it was the co-pilot not the pilot!!!!!!!!!!
