Some of these articles seem to view evil, a noun, as if it were a thing or a substance. This writer views evil as "that which we abhor." For example, we abhor murder, so murder is evil to us. Evil is not a thing that exists independently by itself.
This is relative. For example, some would view birth control as evil, others would see any gambling at all as evil, and others would view consuming any amount of alcoholic beverage as evil. Yet most would not, in each case. For those who see a behavior as evil, it is the doing which is evil. Of course, if we feel that evil is a thing that can hang in the air, that makes good stuff for horror movies, but of course it is always invisible. In real life, it is also invisible, because it does not exist in that form. See: http://www.geocities.com/lmft_99/evil.html |
