Who decides what is evil?

society...

What is society is wrong? What if society itself is evil?

it doesn't matter, society is what decides whats evil...

What if another society decides that the thing isn't evil. What happens?

then it ain't evil in the other society...
like the death penalty for example.. many ppl in my society (UK) think its evil and so it is evil here..
BUT if i go Saudi... it ain't evil.. its just.

so basically evil not only depends on what but also where...

Ok, let me ask this then; What is the origins (roots) of evil?

like what makes someone wanna be evil?

preid's story of Cain beating his brother to death.

Well that wasn't Pried's story. But yes I agree JJ.
================================
Yes, answer that Q Marwa.

1. rebellious nature
2. feels that society is unjust in some shape or form
3. money
4. revenge
5. greed

What would make a society label something as evil?

For example think of this:

Osama bin Laden is seen by Americans as evil.
Bush is seen as stupid, but not evil (by Americans).
Yet both of them killed the innocent.
So if we say that they don't label their president as evil because he is one of them, then doesn't that make American society greedy, and hence evil?

^^^Just out of the top of my head.

Root of all evil? Money and girls

I agree.

After all...the first crime in history (If you believe in any of the monotheistic faiths) was committed because of 2 brothers that loved the same girl.

Is incest considered a crime in any religions? If so, I'm sure Adam and Eve's kids were the first criminals.

most evil comes form women

Well yes they were. I just said that Caine (Son of Adam (AS)) killed his brother over a woman that they both loved.

evil is brought about by humans in order to create stability, we by nature want to feel secure but to do so we create taboo's, we deem things evil in order to protect ourselves from ourselves.

Im the evilest one here....its so evil that my name got turned to black.

Preid, your warn level doesn't look good anymore.
Ahmed, I have very basic mod powers!

I dunno.

I guess evilness pays off.
