Taking things from other people is what is evil. We can be 100% selfish, but still not take from others. Money is only evil when you take from others because of it, Power is not evil unless you take from others to get it. Nothing is evil besides taking things from other people.

hoola
I like this...harming others in any way is to some extent evil?

People are. Blaming things like power, money, and sex is just a way to make people look like victims. He's a victim of greed, she's a victim of lust. It's just denial.

That's all bull****.

Hello, I'm Deihjan, a slightly bipolar female in her prime, taking advantage of whoever and whenever I can - in my spare time I like to twist men around my pinky and be over-all cruel. *reaches hand out for a shake*

Personally I'd say bad, but if you ask the people that know me, they'd probably call me loyal and a funny nutter.

Probably money, i guess. I think an awful lot of the bad things which go on every day ultimately come down to money.

That doesn't completely eliminate the possibility of spreading disease. And not everyone uses one of those either.

For the most part it does though and that is a very good thing.

And obviously anyone should use one of these if they want to avoid diseases.

I am just trying to clarify on your point that "sex leads to disease". Sure it can. But it can be avoided most of the times.

Still can cause disease though which is my point. Then you have the Birth Control, The Teen Pregnancies etc..

Greed is the root of evil, or bad character traits, in humanity. Greed for sex, greed for money. greed for power...basically, unchecked greed for anything can completely warp someone's world view and lead a person to do all kinds of inhumane or immoral acts without regard for the well being of others.

Congratulations. Greed for sex is called lust. I was just simplifying for the purpose of brevity of my statement: Greed is the root of all evil in humanity.

Ignorance. It is the birthplace of and the ground zero for pretty much all of what drives people to be evil.

None of the above. The root of all evil is the human himself/herself. for, if there was no evil stemming from a person. No evil would be done.

Technically, God. Not only did he decide what was evil and what wasn't for a good portion of society, but he also created it. Not sure why he'd do the whole creating part though. Not something I'd do. :?

Greed is a selfish and excessive desire for more of something than is needed. Greed for sex essentially equates to lust. That's all I'm saying.

People are the root of all evil. Evil is the result of a lack of a spiritual setting, which it takes people to diminish spirituality.

*facepalm* they're two different concepts.. You're using the definition of greed correctly, but that doesn't apply for Greed for sex... You can lust for sex out of need for sexual release..
