The Existence of Evil

This is a subject that needs to be faced head-on. But instead, it is avoided, by any means possible. And this avoidance seems to be getting worse. Which is another way of saying things are really getting bad.

When I go on a rant like this, what kind of response do I get? Nothing, or maybe "Look, I heard this before, don't you have something new to say?"

Most people are pre-wired to tune messages like this out. No bad news for them! They want to feel good. And if this means missing some important information - this is not a problem, but proof that they are the right kind of person.

But let me return to my subject, and note that Evil exists only in the Human Condition. It is something we invented ourselves, and exists nowhere else. We are responsible for it - and, in fact, cannot live without it.

Research has been done on the Human Brain, and how it affects the Human Mind. This assumes Evil can be located there. In the way our neurons operate. No way.

It exists only in the realm of ideas. Including Religious ideas. That have a reality of their own.

This what we need to emphasize - the existence of an alternative reality, that is the home of ideas.  This does exist, and is what makes us human.
