I don't know if I should be happy because God may not be completely omniscient, upset because he's a liar or happy because he's a liar.

[ Awkward silence. ]

Do you think things can be inherently evil? A 'guns don't kill people, people kill people' sort of deal.

[lunardancing]

I don't think they can.

[fancy_evil]

But if the things turn out evil, what's to blame? The surroundings?

[lunardancing]

Calling anything evil is kinda extreme, isn't it?

But who you know and how you live can influence you, yeah.

[fancy_evil]

[ Oh, my. She's serious. ]

There are a lot of things worthy of being called evil. You just have to look hard enough.

[iwasason]

No, I don't think anything is. In the right hands, guns are simply tools to feed one's family.

[fancy_evil]

Nothing? And what about someone?

[iwasason]

[In your room nao hi.]

Evil is made, not born.

[fancy_evil]

[ Was kind of expecting it. ]

That makes Him a pretty lacking parent, doesn't it?

[audio]

[stolethename]

Are we speaking sentient things, or non-sentient, here?

[ pause ]

Guess it doesn't matter, same answer either way. No.

[audio]

[fancy_evil]

But sentience is a whole different matter, isn't it? Because we're supposed to have free will.

[audio]

[stolethename]

Humans aren't the only sentient beings.

[audio]

[fancy_evil]

I can't think of a sentient species that has no free will. Care to give an example?

[whosbarry]

Things can't be evil. It's the people who use them that are.

voice;

[fancy_evil]

And what about inherently tempting?

voice;

[whosbarry]

Yes...guns and fire are very tempting.

voice;

[fancy_evil]

Tempting but not evil... a forbidden fruit, so to speak.

[burningazure]

Some things just have a higher potential for allowing so-called-Evil.

[fancy_evil]

Ah, allow. Such a useful word for blaming others.

In any case, evil is subjective.

[burningazure]

Perhaps I should say "makes it easier".

Oh yes, very.

[fancy_evil]

It can be very troublesome, in fact. It means there is always someone ready to mess with plans.
