Sociopath Community

 You probably think evil is some kind of divine force which to you is fictional, while evil actually isn't. It's source spawn from consciousness in general.

It seems to me that evil is nothing more than something that exists within your own mind. It's merely a perception based on your own moral conscience. Which is precisely why I don't believe in it.

Surrounded by a world of stupid since you were a baby has made you a firm believer in it's ways has it, Thrill Kill. 

How we were raised can have an affect on how we view the world. I spent almost half my life growing up in a violent environment. Maybe you didn't, so you don't see it the way I do, but to me, the world can be a violent place. Sometimes you have to be violent in order to survive in it.

You see violence as stupid, and maybe in some respects it is (depending on the situation), but violence is also pleasurable and sometimes it's the solution to a persistent problem.

A moral conscience is a constructive one.

Your moral conscience is the reason you're so easily controlled and manipulated within society. You're like a puppet on a string.

In society, it's the most profound evil forces that dictate who or what is evil. Of course anyone with a brain would understand what it means to address someone as evil.

Why does anyone need to be addressed as evil?

Why label them at all. Why not just accept the fact that they made choices you don't agree with. Those choices may be wrong or evil to you, but in the end they're just choices. Who are you to judge what a person is based on them?

I wanted to see his house for curiosities sake. I think they tore it down.

You sound like Bane

Oh he most definitely did things back then that were considered pure evil. Nowadays, it's probably nothing. We are all probably mini Antons by yesterdays standards.

He lives in a black & white existence, attacking personal character when the debate itself no longer has the means to sustain itself on his end to shield himself.

I'd not take it personally.

Who is to say?  No one.  Who is to guess?  Everyone, I would hope.  (But I always have been a foolish optimist.)

I understand just fine but I think your logic is yours and not mine so its only right for you

 Now that was a logical reply.

Subjectively, it's possible. Objectively, there is no true morality. Psychologically, "good and evil" are categorizations which mediate "in-group" and "out-group" social dynamics. I.e. if you come to be perceived as evil, you go from in-group to out-group. If a person or group in the out-group is perceived as evil, then that becomes a catalyst for action (this is what's happening in the West with ISIS right now). And if they're good, they can be friendly with the group and become in-group.

Of course good and evil judgments are always situated conveniently such that those passing the judgment are "good," and the others doing things they don't like are "evil." Today Hitler is synonymous with evil. Do you think that one day Hitler woke up and said "I think I'll start a world war and become the most evil person of the century?" No, he felt like he was doing good! Moralities are systematic prescriptions for behavior based upon feelings.

Preferences exist.  You wouldn't eat the rotten food because you prefer not to.  Murder is considered evil by most people, because they prefer that it not occur.  Nothing is actually stopping you from eating the rotten food, just as murder is not evil, unless evil exists purely in the eyes of the beholder.  In which case, it means little to nothing.

 It is still a choice that was influenced by good or bad. If you don't believe in good or bad then it becomes a 50/50 chance.

 I believe in good or bad according to my preferences.  There is no universal good or bad, and therefore the terms become subjective descriptors, rather than objective concepts.  If I wanted to make myself sick, that rotten food would suddenly be good, instead of bad.

 True. If you want to throw free will into the equation. You may choose to drink the cup of bleach for personal reasons. 

Choice is influenced from your own personal views of right or wrong.

Who is to say what's universally right or wrong? Dun dun duuuuun.
