Oh, I am not getting angry. I did reply to the statement that there is no bad people, only bad acts. I didn't bring that up but it seemed to be considered as part of the No evil thread.

I don't dislike anyone here for having their opinion. Evil does mean different things to different people. My point was that I did look it up and I even typed the definition in this thread so others could really look at the dictionary meaning of the word.

I had to read it myself and think about the real meaning of it. I was willing to say there are no true mythical evil ones. I had to think about being little, and fearing something evil hiding in a dark closet, remember those days? Oh I think we all felt that way. I remember running and jumping on my bed wondering if some unforseen evil was hiding under there too. So it is safe to say children do have some idea of evil. And I was thinking that as we grow up we may dispute those childhood feelings.

When I was little my father always had war documentaries on TV. I really got sick of war, I never could understand why people just have to have war all the time. I still don't like to watch anything that has to do with war. I hated having to remember the dates for every war in history class. I would have rather learned about the psychology behind the wars. But our old history books were not that indepth. It was more about fighting over this land and getting that land and fighting the Indians, in my opinion, we took their land. But back then the indians were considered bad and so I didn't say anything. No use agruing with the teacher. No I actually hated history I felt all we ever did is fight, fight, fight. But the one thing I loved in history is the art and the culture and things that were created and I loved the egyption art and even their tombs, I got straight A's when it came to that kind of history.

When I learn about what they did in the ancient coloseums for entertainment. The horrors that they tried to come up with, for entertainment? I am not talking about games here they really did some terrible things to people, to be entertained. Those attrocities would never even enter my mind, not in my wildest imagination.

I have to admit that I will never understand the atrosities of man. I dont think of evil as an entitiy, or that people are born evil. That isn't the definition in the dictionary. It is describing the acts of evil and an adjective and the evil tryrants etc that create the acts of evil as the noun.
