Perhaps it's because I was lost in Christianity for so long that I correlate 'evil' with something spiritual. Something that happens outside of our control, ''an 'evil force,' made her/him do it.''
So, for me, I tend to not believe in the idea of evil, anymore. Rather, I think we all have the propensity to DO good deeds, or bad deeds. There is no evil vs. good. It's really more good vs. bad choices. No one can 'be' evil, you either do or don't do good or bad actions. We're all capable of going in either direction if we choose.
That's how I tend to see it, anyway.
Wow, I looked at the poll...there's 5 people (out of not too many votes so far) who voted ''absolutely?''
Interesting.
