On Evil

Wonder what evil is?

from JoeUser Forums

Evil is any time man walks away from God, the Creator. This is anything from murder to "trivial" sins, such as gossip, or breaking the sabbath.

Man is born evil, and has no hope of salvation without Jesus Christ. The payment for accepting Christ is that we are allowed into heaven with God, and the evil in us is taken away by judgement. Then those who follow Jesus are allowed into Heaven, and given wonderful perfect life in a wonderful perfect world as the Earth was originally intended to be.

Evil is inherent in everything.

You're trying to have it both ways...again.

Of my using the example of the evil of abortion, you thank me for exactly proving your point and then, when you realize there is no wiggle room concerning the absolute objective truth that abortion is evil and therefore wrong, you now say I'm using abortion to discredit your point.

I'm not trying to have anything, actually.  You don't know my own personal stance on abortion, though you seem to assume you do.  I never argued one way or another about whether or not abortion is killing a baby.  Some people don't think it's a baby at a certain point in its development.  I won't judge that - I'll just recognize that some group of people hold to that belief.  That's all that is required to know for what I am trying to point out.

 

When I said that you were proving my point, I was referring to the fact that you are 100% intolerant of any idea that doesn't line up with your own.  Belief in God - ANY God or Gods - is NOT objective - if it was, then faith would not be required.  Maybe you just don't understand what "objective" means.  Here's some help.  These are the parts of the definition from dictionary.com of "objective" as an adjective (which is how I am using it.)

 

4. being the object or goal of one's efforts or actions.
5. not influenced by personal feelings, interpretations, or prejudice; based on facts; unbiased: an objective opinion.
6. intent upon or dealing with things external to the mind rather than with thoughts or feelings, as a person or a book.
7. being the object of perception or thought; belonging to the object of thought rather than to the thinking subject (opposed to subjective).
8. of or pertaining to something that can be known, or to something that is an object or a part of an object; existing independent of thought or an observer as part of reality.

 

It is "evil," in my opinion, to try in any manner to enforce on others any belief you hold that stems from a belief in a subjective doctrine.  But that's what you want, isn't it?  You want everyone to agree that your belief is THE belief so that the world will behave in the way that YOU think it should behave.  Lemme tell ya - that isn't worshipping God.  That's playing God.

Zoo, you're lucky those bunnies are too cute to delete. Darn my lolcat addiction.

Second, Ock, I'm not trying to enforce my belief system's ultimate righter-than-youness, I am simply debating my point.

Islam in other parts of the world does a far better job of being insane than Christianity does here. I would not even be arguing with you if I lived in Iran. God bless this free country.
