If Douglas J. Bender had a daughter of 3 & a group of his xians friends "loved" her so much that they decided to invite her out & "love" her to death, is that "love" ?

They must be really loving in your mind right Bender ?

Jack,

Quote:

"Evil" is a psychological reversion to ignorant barbarism.

You say that like it's a bad thing. (Hope you can detect the reverse psychology involved in that statement.)

In Christ,

Douglas

The word "evil" is just an example of "religious slang".
(words that are made up or misused in an attempt to describe one's views or ideas).

Remind me of the old saying -

"Road to Hell is paved with good intentions".

Only actions are evil, not people.

An evil action is an action performed that the perpetrator knows will lead to an overall decrease in the happiness of ... everything.

Not knowing it will lead to a happiness decrease, makes it just stupid.

Of course happiness is the awareness of a increase in power/awareness/health/intelligence/etc and stupidity is a relative lesser awareness.

Words suck.
