I think I believe that the concept of good and evil is something man created. I think there are certain standards that are healthy for the individual and healthy for the community in which the individual is a apart of. I think these standard are considered GOOD. Behaviors that are unhealthy-lead to either physical or emotional harm of the individual or create conflict, disruption, unhealthiness withing to larger community are label EVIL.
I guess I was just wondering was the concept of GOD alway part of our existence or was it something that just developed as we started to live in larger communities. I don't know just seems like if you look at the Christian version of things the was GOD, then man, ALL WAS GOOD. Then man ate from the tree of Knowledge and boom now he is evil...struggling to make is way back to GOD.
IDK what I was thinking at this point in our evolution... Did we as a species have to create the concept of a powerful, omnipresent, Supreme Being that is totally separate and beyond corruption to keep us from following our self-centered, pleasure seeking, survival of the fittest animal instincts and potentially extinguishing all life as we perceive it?
Or did good and evil exist before mankind. IDK just rambling mind I guess.
