The Root Of All Evil
Aug 13, 2008 in General
Here is something a conversation with an old friend a while back sparked.
"What do you think the root of all evil is?"
"Morality."
"Why?"
"Because from morality, stems the concept and essence of evil. From there, came the rules of what should be good and bad according the people who made them. Rules that otherwise force people to judge, to be prejudiced and ultimately, to do the very things that are evil for the sake of removing what they think is evil."
"Then why not fault that to religion where morality stems from in the first place?"
"Probably because religion was a good idea. The rules that came with it however was a very bad one."
Now go. Ponder upon that if you can. Then come back with your thoughts. I'd like to hear them.
