Kristina has a very interesting theory of evil. She said

Through the eyes of an American, the terrorists of September 11th are evil, but from their point of view, they were doing something good.  They sacrificed themselves for a cause that they believed in and proved a point to America.

The idea that evil is in the eye of the beholder is very true. People in the middle east do not consider themsleves evil, they believe that they are doing what is right for their country. However in America we believe that the terrorist in the middle east are evil and they should be punished for their sins.  Another example of this is the Holocaust. Hitler did not belive that hes was doing anything evil, he believe that he was saving he country from the people that were ruining it. I believe that the slaughtering of millions of people can never he a good thing. These example prove the point that evil is in the eye of the beholder and that people definition can be extremely different.

Evil is something that the entire world has to deal with.Whether or not a person believes in the Devil, most people believe in a sense of bad and good. My definition of evil is, a word that people can use to describe the negitivity that happens in  the world. I believe that the Devil is used by the church to keep their members in line. I do not agree with this. i think that the  Devil should be used to counter balance God. God is belived the be the highest power that no one can defeat. The Devil is supposed to be his challanger. He represents what God opposes.

Some examples of evil in the modern world are: the holocost, the genicide of Rwanda and Darfur. In the United States evil is used to describe this events. There is no other word that can describe the events that gone on in this world.

In the world there was to be good and evil otherwise the world we live in would not longer exist. America and many other countries thrive on conflict and the idea of good and evil.
