[QUOTE="Grayson, post: 33563, member: 18"] [b]Re: Evil - What is it according to who?[/b] whether you subscribe to the [I]tabula rasa[/I] or [I]a priori [/I]schools of thought, you cannot escape the fact that as humans defined themselves, sought to defend family and tribe and worshipped the moon, they developed Religion. Religion made sense of the chaos, Religion created the rules by which we live, Religion teaches us right from wrong, Religion defined evil. Was evil extant prior to us defining it as such? Given that evil is a construct, one of fear and malevolence, then how could it exist before we could define it? Is there a protean source of evil that predates man, one that was lurking in the wings and waiting for us to become tool users? I think not, in fact I don't believe evil exists outside of our language and minds and I think it simply serves to maintain our moral altitude in one sense and confine our wills in another. Religion has a lot to answer for. [/QUOTE]
