What is YOUR definition of EVIL?

[Sheila]

My own definition of what I really consider evil to be is----

Any or all abuse against another for pure enjoyment in their pain that somehow makes us feel greater or larger or more powerful.

What's your definition? I consider others things merely immaturities/sins of which we can grow away from.

Every Vile and Ill mannered Liberal?

Yup, sadism is definitely evil.

My definition of evil is anything that does not agree with the will of God.

that which would destroy or corrupt innocence and virture

For me to 'define' evil, would mean that I acknowledge it's presence in my life. Although I KNOW it is present, I don't want to admit to it's reality. No human ever has to be taught to be evil- we are born with that knowledge within. So thankful that evil can be overcome with good.

My def of evil? Unspeakable.
