Should be a core question. That sounds pretty evil to me lol. I can't imagine being happy about something bad happening to someone else...

I mean, I guess if I really disliked them, and it was something only mildly bad, like they stepped on dog poo or something, I'd be happy. Smile

But other than that, no.

It does seem evil, and yet, we train our children to feel good when bad things happen to other people.

Like, when my baby sister was a little kid she had really big feet. "I don't want to have big feet." she wailed. Not knowing any better, I told her to be glad because there were people in the world who didn't have any feet.

We mean well, but it's like Pavlov's dogs, an automatic response because at an early age we were taught that we could feel good when bad things happened to others. It's something to stop and think about.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
