@fmf saidSo, how many of those boxes do you check?
"Evil" is egregious immorality (as already defined in numerous previous discussions, involving doing harm, deceiving and coercing) and gratuitous, sociopathic action that is gravely detrimental and/or damaging to others, and which stems from an abject lack or even absence of empathy and compassion.
@fmf saidAnd when I’m being “malicious,” that’s not in reaction to another poster being malicious to me? It just comes right out of the blue?
I think you are someone who swings wildly between a desire to discuss things in a genuine way and a desire to be malicious, sometimes from day to day, sometimes from post to post. When you have a desire to discuss things in a genuine way, I'm OK with it.
@fmf saidHe created Lucifer, who was originally an angel of God with free will.
I don't know. It's your mythology, not mine. According to that mythology, did your God not create "Satan" and do so deliberately?

Who am I to say that the profligate poser of questions is prone to run away from questions directed at himself?
@pb1022 saidI don't see any connection between your malice and the thread topic. I don't think there is any "evil" at work in any of the facile banter on a message board like this. There is nothing to be gained from trivialising and diluting the meaning of the word "evil".

@kellyjay saidIt is the way of the proud bully/coward, to accost others and crumble when confronted.
I'm sorry, it is not acceptable to call you out the same way you call out me? You believe the stuff you say. How is that odd?
@fmf saidA lack of interest in my posts doesn't mean that you are not evil by your own standards.
See my first post on page 3.
@kellyjay saidI don't think you typing "Faith speak" is calling me out. I think you typing "Faith speak" is a - seemingly inadvertent - parody of how often you greet a very specific question with a rather generic 100-200 words that do not address it.

If you ask me, is there "evil" at work on this forum, I'd answer "no". If I asked you the same question, you'd perhaps type out a couple of hundred words about your faith and not give a clear answer.
