everything is evil but the most evil we have is deep inside our hearts the black and darkness in it 

What is Evil?
It is something that is extremly immoral , and for that reason the classification of what is evil differs from person to person (as morals differ). That is my definition anyways.

One point I want to bring up, there is no such thing as entirely or purely evil person, only evil actions. Hitler and Nazi's have been brought up a bunch of times in this thread all ready so I will use them as an example. Of course genocide is considered evil to the vast majority of people, but that does not mean that Hitler or other prominent Nazi leaders are evil people. For instance, Hitler was a strong animal rights advocate and a vegetarian among other things. After the Nazi party became the government they banned scientific testing on animals and put significant restrictions on slaughtering. Himmler pushed to ban hunting animals all together.

"According to Boria Sax ( a well known researcher and author in this area), the Nazi view on animal protection rejected the anthropocentric perspective—animals were not to be protected for human interests—but for themselves" - taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_welfare_in_Nazi_Germany

So animals had more rights in Nazi Germany than they have in many countries currently, including the USA. Surely this can't be seen as an evil thing or something an evil person would do. So to reiterate my initial point, Hitler was a person who did evil things, not an evil person ... there is a big difference. On the flip side of things, I don't expect a person who is considered good or not evil to do the "good" thing 100% of the time.

smotpoker86 : Please don't tell me that there's no such thing as pure evil here.Years back as I was sleeping late at night a dark presence told me that  same message .You're freaking me out!

death_nation : You should really lock your doors, I'm not sure what I would do if a black person ( or any colour) came into my room in the middle of the night.

I've always looked at evil as an absence or good. It can't stand on its own. It isn't equal to good. I look at things from a biblical standpoint. And it shows that evil is merely a perversion of what is good. It isn't creative, it simply copies and perverts or destroys what is good. It exists simply to rival what is good.

Hm.... quite the thread....

Evil, I believe, is mainly made of opinions. What one person may believe to be evil/ mean, another may think of it as hilarious. There really isn't any TRUE thing that is evil in my opinion because everybody sees things differently.

Adjective
# intend Intending to harm; malevolent.
# morally Morally corrupt.
# Unpleasant.
Noun
# The forces/behaviors that are the opposite or enemy of good. Evil generally seeks own benefit at the expense of others and is based on general malevolence.
# Any particular individual or state which may follow these forces or behaviors.

That's technically the definition of evil (yes, copy and paste).
I agree that evil is in the eye of the beholder. Society has thrust upon us what is considered to be nice and perfect and if you don't follow the status quo you're labeled as some form of evil. We don't know if some of the things we're doing now was considered evil years and decades ago. Even if we accept what is considered good, we all have evil inside of us. We are evil in a sense. We will never be rid of it. If we somehow erase all traces of evil from us, we cease to be human. We become something that is only positive and we lose our reasoning power. We would become mindless because with no evil, we can't deduce evil. Everything would become void and useless.

What is evil?  Does it truly exist?  As I would have it, no.  While people do have perceptions of evil, examples as Hitler (as you brought up), I am a firm believer that there is no evil, nor is there good.  I once heard a quote: There is no good, there is no evil, only perceptions of them.'  I took it to mean this; do you think that Hitler and Stalin and Saddam Hussein believed that they were doing evil?  No, to them, the evil were those who were trying to disrupt their way of life and usurp the natural order of things.  THEIR natural order.  Can people be cruel?  Vicious?  Are rape, murder, molestation, kidnapping and the rest all horrible acts that have no justification?  Well, sure.  Of course.  But are they truly evil?  That is for the individual to decide. 

Evil is an opinion..... an adjective where just about everybody views it differently. Some things however, multiple people may agree to be "evil" but as a whole, it just depends on how the person views something.

I think a person is evil when they do horrible things just for the hell of it. Or people that kill people do the their beliefs or things like that.

Evil is... Like a force, I would say... You hardly can control it. There are different kinds of Evil, though... Some are controllable, others, not.

Evil is showing authority to everyone. Its to force people to do your work. Evil means to slitter innocent lives. Evil is chaos....... joke I think evil is for losers with no guts and no Leif's     

If I find something evil, it is evil. If someone disagrees with me, he or she is wrong.

Its impossible to define evil more clearly, because there will always be loop holes. And as far as I know, by far most people see evil that same way as I do, even if they do not admit it.

Evil is Evil and there is no denying that.

evil is simply what society percieves as wrong.
For example in the middle east woman can be forced to marry someone. here, thats evil, there, its not.
Idealy evil would be more standard. Simply knowingly doing something that will upset/offend society.

The way I see evil is people who lie, and seek self-satisfaction, and just overall, people who just don't care about anyone but themselves. I believe this population of people is growing constantly, and every time I think about it, it makes me dislike those people. A lot. But I'll never hate somebody until I really find out how they are. I personally don't believe in first impressions. I used to, but some people have made bad first impressions on me before, but have later proved wrong the negative thoughts that I've had about them. But it's the people who are two-faced, the people who are bullies, the killers, the rapists, and every other self-centered, no-hearted, and uncaring people that I personally think are the true evil ones.
