So do Christians, only we see how evil and sin destroys people from within.

Genuine question here, not poking fun or anything, but are you of the opinion that "evil" and "sin" are forces, or energy, or something of that nature, that inhabits an individual and, as you put it in your comment here, destroys people from within?
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
