I also think it silly to assume a whole half of a species to be evil because of a formula which does not even apply to the majority of them.
Why should I spend loads of money to attract a girl? Surely if I am poor and spend little on her I would know she was truthful because she would not love me for my money but rather for who I am. Likewise, good character, kindness and other virtues are what makes true attractiveness, not necessarally materialistic values such as wealth or beauty. In my opinion true good values and virtues make someone far more attractive than wealth or beauty ever could.

I'm with you there. Most church-goers are sheep, tacitly accepting Jesus as their savior with no will to actively do good in the world.

For some reason I'm not surprised that guys in a philosophy chatroom tend to beleive that women are evil.

Most chicks aren't turned on by the size of your cerebrum. get use to it.

It also doesn't helpt that powers of logic are often of little use when dealing with the fairer sex, which can be particularly frusterating to our kind.

welcome!!

I don't think Language is good or evil anymore than a gun is. Its just a tool.

Evil is all in intention, not in the method used to distribute it. For exmaple, you wouldn't call non-intentional animals evil (even when they kill humans) because they are just following their instinctual behavior. For non-self-aware creatures, Good and evil don't enter into the equation.

It does raise the question of whethor or not there is such a thing as evil intention. I don't think people intend to do evil for the sake of being evil (except for women apparently), rather they do self-serving acts despite the evilness of the act.

Re: Evil Is Good And God Doesn't Exist???

Wow. Are there any girls on this forum? Because if we are going to block swearing we should block this stuff. After all, by doing this, you are insulting 50% of potential members. Or does evil come with a dum advocate? Well yeah ok, maybe you're all on to something here... lol.

But seriously, this site has a slight bias that is taking away half the insight I thought we would want.

seriously, you shouldn't take the above comments seriously. There's plenty of room on the forum for women to give their retort to our jibes.
