Natural evil

“The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don 't do anything about it”. (Albert Einstein, Brainy quote, 2015). The reason that I begin with this quote is because of its correlation between people and places. Both a person and a place can have good and evil inside of them. However, the subject matter is not a person, but of a place. A place that doesn’t require a specific name, but a simple one at that. This place is known as a…

Can evil exist without good? Evil cannot exist without good because they are the structure of humanity and existence. Good and evil coexist together, and if you simply get rid of one you also take away the other. If there was only good, and no evil, it would not necessarily be considered good. Society would just view it as normal because there would be nothing to compare our actions to. The world is all about opposites. For instance, yin and yang (dark and light), one cannot exist without the…

will consider the atheistic point of view on the argument from evil, while addressing free will. This is one of the main arguments against the existence of an all-good and all-knowing God, which was discussed in class. Atheistic Argument From Evil If God exists, then He is omniscient, omnipotent, and perfectly good. If God were omniscient, omnipotent, and perfectly good, then the world would not contain evil. The world contains evil. Therefore, God does not exist. Beginning with Premise one, it…

How many faces does God have? Is God evil? Does God create tragedy? Or does God only provide angels? Many people died on September 11th, 2001. Many muslims, jews, catholics and atheists died. But was it God wanting to kill thousands, or was it a man acting out of the free will that God provides all men, women and children. Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete believed that the deaths on 9/11 was different than natural deaths because there was no closure. The story about my Uncle Dan’s experience of 9/11…

has taken the type of a contention against God's existence: that issue is the problem of evil. One version of the problem of evil takes a purely logical structure: that is, it tries to demonstrate that the existence of evil and suffering is conflicting with certain traditional qualities of God. These qualities are omnipotence and goodness. Since God has both the methods and the motive to avoid or evacuate evil, it is hard to see why it ought to exist by any means. The second and more basic…

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…

millions of unanswered questions that theories and philosophies have been made from. One question that falls under this category is “what is good, and what is evil.” The foundation of good and evil applies to humans. More specifically, the “good” or “evil” acts that people participate in. It has been theorized since the beginning if people learn evil characteristics or are birthed with them. The question can, and will, never be answered due to the fact that morals are set from person to person.…

people are in their right mind.” -Author Unknown Lefties often get a bad rap, and it is time to clear up the misconceptions and make being left-handed a new desirable trait. In the Latin dictionary, the word “left” was often defined as sinister or evil, a matching definition if you were to look into the American education system. In schools, children were often forced to switch hand preference if they favored the left hand, causing many health issues, such as dyslexia. But these days, people…

The term evil is incredibly subjective, and yet something universally known to exist. The topic has prevailed priority interest in religion, science and morality: where it comes from, how it’s cultivated, how it's destroyed. There is a looming mystery to evilness, an obvious existence, but latent foundation. East of Eden written by John Steinbeck follows the peoples of the Salinas Valley in California and their chaotic web of moral code. The book projects a multitude of biblical references and…

can society as a whole, how can all of us determine what is evil and what is not? Evil has a simple definition, evil is bad. But everything depends on the situation. God did not create evil. God does not have this power to create evil for He cannot sin and go against His perfectly holy nature. “God is light, and in him is no darkness at all,” (1 John 1:5). To make his perfect creation, He needed mortals to choose between good and evil because his long-term purpose was to add more members to…
