CHAPTER 1: The Evil Nature of the Source
There is a single source from which everything emanates. This Universal Source gives rise to everything: what is alive and not alive, real and imaginary, good and evil, matter and spirit, etc. Everything whatsoever is a former part of the Source and is made up of the same basic substances as the Source.
The Source, (which is the Universal Consciousness, Intelligence, or Mind) is sick. It is psychotic. Because of its psychosis, the Universal Source auto mutilates to produce everything that exists. It severs parts and particles from itself to use them for satisfying its sick desires. We are those particles. We are former parts of the Source and are contaminated with the same psychosis it has, which results

In summary, evil is anything that causes suffering, or prevents happiness, or prevents well-being in any living entity. Evil is an aberration. It is the only deviation from moral rectitude there is; and it is unacceptable, at least to me. I sustain here that Life, living life, and the Universal Mind/Source or Supreme Power (namely God) are all …show more content…
These claims must be true, based on experience, because evil has existed since the beginning of life; it exists now; and it will continue to exist indefinitely, as long as there is life. Also, due to our dementia, our consciousness needs evil to experience or to recognize goodness as goodness because without evil it does not have a contrast from which to differentiate goodness. It follows that in our consciousness, and in Life, evil and suffering will always be present because the need to create evil is in their very nature. The only way of eliminating evil from our lives, then, is by the complete destruction of our lives and our

    In the “Roundtable Discussion on the Problem of Evil”, Meghan Sullivan, Trent Dougherty, and Sam Newlands discusses the Problem of Evil for theism, as well as defences theists have come up with against the problem. All three people do not take the side of a theist or an atheist, but instead discuss the problem from a mostly objective view. The Problem of Evil is also discussed by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong and William Craig in God? A Debate Between a Christian and an Atheist, where Sinnott-Armstrong argues from the atheist’s point of view and Craig argues from the theist’s. In this paper, I will discuss the points made in both sources to make my argument: I shall argue that there is a possibility that God could have made different types of evils…

    What Is Evil? Evil has been intertwined into our vocabulary from a very young age to describe the scariest bad guys in movies and books. To call an individual evil suggests that all acts that the person has done in their lifetime were evil. This indicates that no one is absolutely evil, for every individual person has performed at least one act of kindness in their existence.…

    The Problem of Evil In Evil and Omnipotence J.L Mackie argues that if there is a God who is all-powerful and all good than he would not have allowed there to be any evil in this world, or if there was any evil to begin with he would have eliminated it, but sense there is evil than God must not exist. If you think about how and what Mackie is arguing then it makes sense, that God must not exist if he would let us be tormented by evil on a daily biases, but this argument is only valid to the people who think God is both omnipotent and wholly good. Which few traditional Theist will say that God is not omnipotent or wholly good, but if you can than the problem of evil will not arise for you. Mackie also gives us a few fallacious solutions such as “Good cannot exist without evil” or “Evil is a necessary as a counterpart to good”.…

    The world is plagued, not with a disease but with evil that originates in all of us. We see this in multiple instances such the brain's natural instincts, develope of humans and finally how diseases affect the brain. All of these show how we are naturally “evil” by today's standards due to how the brain is made up to be which is greatly evident even in a book such as Lord of the Flies. In order to understand how everyone is capable of doing evils such as murder we need to understand the most primitive form of the brain.…

    In this world, there exist both good and evil, and they both coexist in every humankind genetic trait. Wherever we go, evil is present around us, and there is not a place that is safe from evil. My definitions of evil as sin, an act of rebellion against God, and an act of breaking God 's commandments. Dr. Zimbardo 's definitions of evil as an improper behavior or influence, an act of inhumanity or cruelty, and a desire to kill or to destroy. Both definitions of evil are similar to one another, because they both are part of our human nature, human instinct, and human reasoning.…

    A question that has been asked since the beginning of time, can a man be purely evil? Several famous figures have only made the question expand, due to their acts of terror upon mankind. Recent figures such as Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden, along with a past historical individual, Elizabeth Bathory, lead us to believe there are people born with an evil filled soul. However, all of these ghastly personalities had to have families and loved ones that saw the true person inside of them. After speculation of these four figures, it can be concluded that although a person may commit countless, horrific acts, they can still have good in their hearts.…

    The problem of evil is an ancient theological problem that has been in existence for a long time. Evil is an immoral, benevolent behavior towards oneself, others, and nature. Unjust suffering occurs in one’s life because of the following: human beings are sinners, a way for God to test whether one’s faith will change and because nature is unpredictable. This is proven in the Hebrew Bible, the Book of Job, and in the “Christianity” chapter of Roy Clouser, the author of The Myth of Religious Neutrality. There are several answers to the ways evil can be solved, but none is satisfying because evil is a tradition that has been in occurrence.…

    Evil is a complex issue within the Catholic faith. It is difficult to put a definition to what evilness is because it is not something that can physically be touched or seen. Philosophers such as, St. Augustine and Boethius, have proposed ideas that transform the way Catholics view evil, and help to give a better understanding of faith and God. These two philosophers have expressed their opinions on this very controversial topic in depth in Augustine’s Confessions and again in the Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius. The philosophers shared certain ideas, but have come to them each in different ways.…

    The reason that we even have an experience of perceived evil is because of the experience itself that .we have been through, meaning that; we can’t have “hot” without “cold” So I understand that what we believe is evil is just the opposite end of the of good. I am often confronted with the argument saying that evil shouldn’t exist if God really existed. The “problem of evil” means that the existence of evil is a needed condition for the existence of certain kinds of good things. There are a number of characteristics that are important only if evil exists in this world. Being compassionate, for instance, is a great value, but can only exist if there is suffering in this world.…

    Humans are complex and simply using the religious derived definition of evil discounts, how complex humans are and removes the responsibility we have of our own actions as well as our social responsibility. It's a dangerous over-simplification to believe that some are innately ‘good’ while others are innately ‘evil’ or ‘bad.’ This is a misleading concept, ‘bad’ people commit crimes, and we should throw them away because there is no hope. We cage them and forget about them.…

    Good versus evil is a theme strung throughout literary works, movies, and television shows. There’s of course the trope of the angel on one shoulder, the devil on the other, or the recurring plot of the good guys verses the bad guys. In short, good versus evil is a binary you can’t help but be aware of, so it’s no wonder we place good and evil as opposites. In one sense, the objection that good cannot exist without evil plays on the semantic relationship between good and evil.…

    THE PARENT ENTITY Maybe there’s a more intelligent explanation, an explanation beyond religion and atheist theory. Theists believe that life was created by a supernatural God. Atheists believe life evolved from a combination of inorganic elements mixing together. The problem is that both theories ignore the laws of nature. These models are not believable because they are not observed in nature.…
