I'm just craaaazy!

Man, TonyVanDam just asked if I was the DEVIL! So who knows?!?

I have evil thoughts about certain people, but I don't act on them.

I'm a sinner.

Recently, I've been evil. I've never been perfect.

Neither. I get pissed off and lose my patience sometimes, but I'm not an evil person by nature, just the opposite. I think I am a very nice and considerate person. However, I do have evil thoughts about certain people who have done me wrong and wish Karma would up and bite them in the ass big time.

I guess I'm fundamentally just like everyone else but (except sometimes on this madhouse of a forum, I'll admit) I constantly monitor my words and behavior so they fit my ethics. Obviously I do that waaaaaay much more (or much better) than most people.

.

I can be, and have occasionally been a real bitch, though. I ain't proud of it, but it happened.

.

Truly evil people exist, I've met a few of them in my life, but very very few (less than 10 I'd say). Most of the other people behaving like shit are just clueless about what they're doing.

.

I've never met anyone perfect as far as I know (what's a perfect human being anyway? I couldn't even define it to begin with) but I've met many people who are genuinely, fundamentally good to others and/or trying hard to be good to others.

.

Joe, what was the purpose of this thread, BTW? I mean, what r u trying to fgure out here?

i'm not evil. i have a dark side, but i'm trying to grow towards the light right now, i do much more good than harm. but, little things cdan still blow me off track. like, asshole merchants who put profit ahead of human concerns. that sort. them i shout at over the phone. so, although i totally get me, i'm likely kind of weird, outside my own head.

I try to avoid violence, but I kick some ass if I have to

evil is just a label given to those who find you different and a threat .. when the gods landed here and created us they wanted a slave world .. submissive .. the devil thought humans should know more and understand how the universe really works .. he was labeled evil for that and anyone who knew more than there sheep role allowed was also labeled evil .. but is it evil to understand the universe .. hell NO .. there is no such thing as evil really .. it is all subjective .. based upon power and manipulation and not what is in your heart .. they say the road to hell is paved with acts of kindness .. people with good intentions hung on a cross .. was jesus evil for preaching love and vegetarianism .. or was he just a threat .. we are all perfect .. again the imperfections come from a subjective manipulation .. is your face perfect .. buy this .. is your body perfect .. buy this .. is your soul perfect .. buy forgiveness from the snake oil salesmen we call christianity .. asking these questions is like asking if you are pretty .. some people think so .. others not so much .. doesn't matter .. aint no wrong now aint no right

perhaps I'll kick your ass

I doubt he'd say that if he found himself alone in a room with a Jeffrey Dahmer...

when was the last time you "kicked some ass"?.... what was the reason behind it?

well, for some people is very easy to cross the line from heated argument to gross/unnecessary insults

for me, it's very easy to kick some ass after being insulted with some gross/unnecessary insults

that makes me kind of evil, I guess

I'm interested how orgers perceive me.

I wonder how they think of me, as evil or perfect. Would love to know.

What I think of myself is less interesting than how others experience me.

i wonder what that genesis story was really about. seems like there was a choice between life and knowinggoodandevil. do you think there is such thing as good? i agree evil is an illusion, but i think good is real, and maybe related to life? did god want man to just eat whats real, life, instead of realmixedwithfake? the hebrew 'evil' comes from a root meaning to 'spoil by breaking into pieces'............and its funny how the hebrew words for "crafty" and "naked" have the same spelling. did they hide themselves because they realized they were bucknaked, or because crafty illusions had entered their hearts? i read somewhere that man's heart was designed as a trap for the illusory essence, keeping it confined in the universe to this one planet, until every man chooses to break it down with true forgiveness and reenter the garden........ where is the part about Buying forgiveness? or is that the Snakeoil version of Christ's true teaching? well i guess its time for me to go learn hebrew, or maybe just pray, i suspect those stories are a gorgeous tapestry of poetry to really understand.

Well, I can't help you. I did not grow up with the bible, and I have not adopted one sort of religion as an adult.

Despite my atheist upbringing, the 10 commendmants were respected and reffered to in every day life.


I really believe that the 10 commandments are true and just guideluines for every human being.

No matter what you think is right or wrong, if you obey those rules. just like everyody else, the world would be a better place than it is right now.

Buying and forgiveness don't go together in my book.


I truly believe in an universal sense of justice. Atheist, Muslim or Christian, in our hearts we know the difference between right and wrong. It demands personal strenght to not get manipulated into hatred, but to value the miracle of life on earth.
