I say we all have an innate sense of right and wrong which is the golden rule. As Chrsit said we are to do unto others as they do to us. In addition, we have all violated this golden rule and experienced guilt. So where is the ignorance in all this?
I never steal. Except music from the internet. And the only lies I trade in are fibs for getting out of having to do something without hurting peoples' feelings in my working life.
I am obviously 50% evil. Wouldn't trust anyone who scored under 40% on that test. What is they say about the 2 kinds of people? There are liars and then the rest of us? Unfortunately I no longer have the energy for most of the evil that I have done. With age comes wisdom - or fatigue?

'trust not the man who says he is more than an actor, for that lie waves like the devils banner above, theft, murder. . . . ', I only scored six percent and i can safely say Jack i am the closest thing to an angel you are ever likely to meet this side of Armageddon.
Originally posted by robbie carrobie acting out of ignorance? nope, no one rapes or maims out of ignorance that it will not cause pain and suffering. sending up a drone is a conscious act. Are the persons who perpetrate them evil? Yes by definition, for they have caused harm and injury and are morally reprehensible. Are the acts evil? yes again by definition they have caused pain ...[text shortened]... rd is far too limiting and our preconceptions limit us from fully appreciating its significance.
Of course sending up a drone is a conscious act.
It can still be a ignorant one.
I am speaking on a spiritual level when I refer to ignorance.
All that is real is the Truth.
When people act this way they are acting out of ignorance of the Truth.Evil, the devil these things truly do not exist. They are an illusion. They do not come from the Truth. Truth is eternal and all that is.
Originally posted by caissad4 I have been accused twice (publicly) in my life of being possessed by the Devil. The first time I laughed, the second time I said that I would start charging Him rent. Evil, as an entity, does not exist.
If you spent more on your holidays you wouldn't end up in the main tent at "Butlins Spring Harvest".

I'm not at redhotpawn, I'm at playtheimmortalgame. How come I have to look at a red hot pawn in your avatar? It should change depending on which site I'm using...make it look...immortal...somehow...

So you feel as if you should go to heaven if it exists?
Originally posted by FMF Worrying about heaven all the time would be an abject waste of life. Who would want that? And what entity would require it?
Sinfulness is what is at the source of our ills, at least sccording to scripture. Therefore, it would behoove a benevolent God to be very concerned about that problem. It would also behoove us to be concerned with it. Christ once said that at the heart of the laws of God was the Golden Rule, which is to do unto others as you would have them do to you. Do you dispute this law? Should we not be concerned about it not only in the next life, but this life as well?
Christ once said that those who sin are a slave to it and that he had come to set us free. Having been set free from personal sins of my own, I can say that my relationship with him has been far from a waste of my life.
