Is the world too nice, and are people too nice to eachother. Is this whole christian ideal actually making god angry? How can we know. Perhaps god wants us to be more evil. Hm?
Does the world need to be more... evil?

Morally wrong, or harmful. Deliberately causing harm to someone. Causing misfortune. Strong desire to cause harm.
Re: Does the world need to be more... evil?
BP I think people are doing a good enough job making the world an "evil" place on their own. Less "evil" would be nice.

In the Bible, God has caused genocides more then once. Examples are those of Noah's Arc, and those of the Exodus and Moses.Genocides etc. occur, yet he asks does the world need to be more evil...

Shajikata, guess what, Ja'chyra will be asking that : "Define good then"
Re: Does the world need to be more... evil?
"Evil" is inherently wrong, so it seems odd, if not downright contradictory, that some infinite/absolute being would want us to do wrong. It is quite another thing to say that genocides are in fact "good," or right, while they are widely beleived to be wrong.
A human cannot be sure that his conceptions of what is good and what is evil are correct. However, it does not follow that true good and true evil do not exist.

Who can know what BP is on?
What I believe Nietzsche meant, though, was that man should act according to a moral code he himself took responsibility for, instead of doing what he was told by "God". Hence Beyond Good and Evil. He didn't deny morality, just the "slave morality" of christianity, which he regarded as elevating self evidently bad things to the status of "good" as a psychological device to make the weak feel better about their weakness. Whereas through facing up to the struggle and pain they could overcome their weaknesses and become the "superman".
Personally I don't agree that most Christian values are bad things dressed up as good, but I do agree that we should take responsibility for our own moraility instead of looking to have it imposed on us. But I would also observe that most people would make a bad job of their own morality, and therefore my overall conclusion is that I should be more evil and the rest of you should not...

Re: Does the world need to be more... evil?
pft...YEAH! If there is no evil, there is no good either. For evil defines good, and good defines evil.

It's kind of hard to vote, so I will not...
Although you are right, whose to say that God doesn't want more 'evil'? Who knows maybe he'd be happy if no one believed in him...
Re: Does the world need to be more... evil?
I disagree, one does not need to be sick to be healthy.
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Re: Does the world need to be more... evil?
It had been commonly put forward, as a solution to the problem of evil, that evil was merely a negation of good. Where good was a positive thing, and evil was simply a lack of good.
Re: Does the world need to be more... evil?
This is a pointless post,
You are arguing for more evil?
Have you picked up a paper recently?
Maybe if you were chucked into one of the numerous fires of chaos this world generates you would take back your arrogance.
Look at the entirety of human history, for every 1 decent act of kindness we have another 100 of despicable cruelty. This world is filled with enough bastards, obviously you haven't seen that yet.
