Evil does not exist. What exist is a human that is not as virtuous as he could be. You should pity a man who does harm to a victim more than the victim itself. Living as a broken man is far, far worse than any mishap you could get.
Except, if they flay you alive and pour acid on your open skin... then I'd rather be a cold-psycho killer than a virtuous man.
separation from God
Evil is Evil. Lesser, greater, middling… Makes no difference. The degree is arbitary. The definition’s blurred. If I’m to choose between one evil and another… I’d rather not choose at all
virtue comes from virtus which is latin for manliness. harming things is manly, if you are a pacifistic sissy you are not virtuous
Pain, death, all that one categorizes as bad but a general consensus forms around it. Like most words, it is a squishy thing.
Take this lily livered whelp fo instance. He’s lost without a daddy figure’s supervision. Finding the courage enough to live for himself, or even others he knows, to take responsibility for ones own agency, scares him half to death. Why, he could just kill someone if not himself, if he didn’t have this fairy story meme stuffed into his head.
Such wrecks are made though. Children aren’t born into such cowards. An evil thing has been done to him. The poor poor dear.
No, harming things is not manly. Harming things that want to harm something you hold dear is, however, manly.
I was aiming at a criminal doing something like a mug on a victim as the example, not just the act of harm.
Having behavior or attitudes similar to those of a Boomer.
>Like most words, it is a squishy thing.
What an absolutely Reddit thing to say. You could have said vague or maluable or flexible, yet you chose the most pretentious word you could have. What an insufferable person.
Not him, but I only read the first two sentences and stopped there. Your contributions are less than worthless. They're distractingly obtuse. Filtered.
In the same manner that illusion is real
That's some top cringe right there. My congratulations.
What would be for example the excuse to not kill trash like you in a godless world?
Fear of ending up in prison?
The best alignment when coupled with Lawful.

Did the word remind you too much of breasts, user?

How I think of it ^
However, the programmer's intent matters much. For an animal not acting like one is the only thing that could be evil. But then again, defining what you don't want to do as an animal is what defines evil to begin with, hence evil doesn't exist. Evil is what you want to do but your humane ethics tell your instincts to refrain.This is evil to your base programming, ironically, because evil means wrong at it's core.
Also how I think of it ^
It's all very much full of contradictions. As culture is formed it contradicts animal instinct. For most woke existential humans they chalk that up to basically: suffer more now to find peace and or happiness in the next life.
In reality religion has nothing to do with it. It's just full of cognitive dissonance if you try to combine it all.
>He’s lost
In what, from what?
>Yeah, well, you see this grander abstraction that's totally not God or divine...
A harmful and not justifiable act (in the frame of your worldview) towards a living being that triggers your response for empathy for the victim. Yes, it is subjective.
that which goes against logos, or that which seeks to distort or retard or thwart the destiny of another out of spite, resentment, envy etc
Anything done beyond necessity, and (not that it's possible for humans) ending being
So you accept that no one should ever psychically harm anyone? Does that mean you're a radical anarchist or do you believe that the police and the government are able to aggress against you in order to enforce law and order?
Every barbarian who takes what he wants is manly fuck off christian hypocrite.

This person right here is evil
>Take this lily livered whelp fo instance
A spelling error and a gratuitous insult
>He’s lost without a daddy figure’s supervision
A false assumption; like most self-proclaimed "anti-theists" you jump to conclusions about individuals without knowing much about them (in this case, the user said but one sentence).
> Finding the courage enough to live for himself, or even others he knows, to take responsibility for ones own agency, scares him half to death.
This is untrue because believing in God and a set of defined morals does not mean that one does not have the courage to live for oneself. It merely means that he has the courage to have faith in one set of morals (as opposed to his own or yours).
> Why, he could just kill someone if not himself, if he didn’t have this fairy story meme stuffed into his head.
I'm not sure from what you could have gleaned this about the user. Are you trying to utilize the "without Christianity there would be no morals" strawman?

Such wrecks are made though. Children aren’t born into such cowards. An evil thing has been done to him. The poor poor dear.
Very well. So Christianity is an elixir for the suffering/cowardly that remedies their suffering/cowardice.
>Pain, death, all that one categorizes as bad but a general consensus forms around it.
Not all pain or death is evil. These are only categorized as "bad" because it brings people discomfort and draws away from their precious worldly pleasures.
As usual, this "Butterfly's" posts are an obnoxious cocktail of anti-theist egotism. In other words it's just "sweetie" posting.
>virtue comes from virtus which is latin for manliness. harming things is manly, if you are a pacifistic sissy you are not virtuous
The original Latin meaning of a word is irrelevant. Harming things is not manly because it is easy to harm or to tear down; it is manly to build up, to create (for example, it is manly to father a child and raise it).
No, he is lost. I experienced it and see it brought up here all the time. The agnostic period is agonizing. This continues till you get another hit and try to fall back into your faith (or a new one) or you abstain and flush your system clean of the junk. You see the world fresh and new once you go atheist.
The agnostic period drives some mad apparently. I didn’t mean to implicate this particular person, but a generalization.
>Not all pain or death
OH, NOT ALL PAIN AND DEATH!
Hahahah. I did say the word is squishy, now didn’t I?
Ignorance, the one who is doing the evil act thinks that he is doing himself good, ignoring the consequences of his evil deed (ej. regret, suffering produced by envy or hate, the disrespect or hate of the victim or society, etc.)
It can also be originated from satanic pride (the imperative ''I shall not serve'', be it virtue or other people with virtue) and/or concupiscence (that is the unmeasured desire for material things or pleasure)
Those are my two positions on evil. They are not original ideas of mine, but of Socrates and Swinburne. The first is a product of the unconscious person the latter is of the individual that does evil being fully conscious of it.
What is good?
Evil is the opposite of good.
Thats a hard one. The only definition I can come up with is constructive order. Anything that creates a constructive order in chaos, and if you believe in God, anything that follows Gods order ir the universe.
The concept of "evil" abstracts a thing or person to the point of shutting down understanding.
Fucj off trip faggot
Im drunk as hell and tired as hell of you shitting up this board you fucking tranny cunt
You ficking oeice of shit. You god damn mentally challenged child. Were your wits removed at birth of was it a long process of ducking every cock you could find that lead you to pointing yourself out as a character on a mongolian basketweaving forum you fucking chikd. You insolent fucking worm.
Your prescene and contributions are the most egregious of offences against the culture and practice of this imageboard.
I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that i think you’re a worthless piece of shit
Fuck yoyou fucking tool
Butterfly will probably never leave. That is his punishment, I guess. This is my first time on this board in years and he's still stinking up the place.
Evil in modern usage is the banal. You can have a person who is complacent in allowing abuse and violence occur around them, turn a blind eye and then in nearly the same breath go on facebook and complain about the price hike for their Netflix subscription
You fucking nigfer you fucking oiece of shit you god damned irredemimable, obtuse, saccharine CUNT. Hou fucjing oseudointellectual fuckbag, you god damned troglodyte. You hardly posses the fucking intellect you espouse yourself to have. In reality i’d be impressed if you’ve read a single book in the lastnyear i dont think youre actually capablenof reading or writing
Perhaps your fu iing handler does it for you, or perhaps in your ignoance youve alctuuly convinced yourseldnthat youre somehow not the bumbling eorthless fool thy you are, but if you dont stop posting i will fucjing explod
If hes cursed to never keave then i wisj him an eternity if unsolvable capthas and dead conections and lag and fucking viruses and i hope he fucking reads this and takes it personally and knows that the oruest hatred on planet earth is directed squarely atn him
Just whatever is deleterious or unpleasant to individuals, or human society in general. It's no more complicated or metaphysical than that.
Evil is like most traits’ definition its shaped and defined by how the majority shape and define it, I mean society defines it, and it defines it as many definitions all connected together, evil is greed, lust, harming others, not following the bible and/or whatever the society says
Take its definition as a piece of jello that falls and fills in the shape of society’s bowl
>constructive order
How Apollonian of you
Don’t drunk post. It’s always shit.

Fucking liar
Too close to home, I see.
Get well soon, user

>suffering bad
>not suffering good
That is a shallow way of evaluation.
>tripfag ruins another thread
It is a shallow description of a squishy word.
You lay on your side too long and you feel pain, so you move. (You destroy the perfect peace of your reclining position and disturb the Form !!) pain is necessary sometimes, I am not blind to it.
But we had a recent fascist larper in here asking if it’s okay to commit genocide from time to time. No. Not all pain and death is good. Most of it is what we would call bad.
By giving a good definition and not drunk posting
Yeah. Yw
i like this one
You're not allowed to find that attractive, Butterfly :3
Most pain is in service to greater joys. There are really two options: reject the world and reject pain or embrace the world and embrace pain. Of course there is constructive pain in service of something and needless pain. But any classification of either as good or evil is meaningless.
Evil is the spread of misery where nothing need to be, but is, as declared by the word of God
Subjective, arbitrary if society decides.
