How well does the biblical depiction of evil, things such as sloth, lust, greed,...etc, compare to your opinion on what is truly evil? Or are you one of those people who just thinks evil is a relative term.
I think that religion is the ultimate evil, so maybe I'm a bit biased...Originally posted by einsteinian77

The Biblical view of evil is rooted in the belief that evil exists due to the presence of sin in the world. According to the Bible, sin entered the world through Adam and Eve's disobedience to God in the Garden of Eden. This disobedience resulted in a separation from God and the introduction of evil into the world.
The Biblical view of evil differs from other perspectives in that it places the responsibility of evil on the actions and choices of human beings rather than external forces or entities. It also acknowledges the existence of a higher power, God, who is ultimately in control and has a plan to overcome evil.
Yes, the Bible offers several solutions and sources of hope in the face of evil. One of the main solutions is through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who bore the weight of humanity's sins and offers forgiveness and redemption. Additionally, the Bible teaches that God is ultimately in control and will one day defeat evil and establish a new, perfect world.
As a scientist, my personal opinion on evil may differ from the Biblical view in that I view it as a result of natural processes and human behavior rather than a spiritual force. I also believe that evil can be explained and understood through scientific research and analysis.
Many people believe that science and the Bible are incompatible in their explanations of evil. However, as a scientist, I believe that they can coexist and complement each other. While science can help us understand the natural causes and effects of evil, the Bible offers a deeper understanding of the spiritual and moral implications of evil and how to combat it.
