Reply #101: it's not simply anything i can dream up in my head [View All]

it's a concept that has been omnipresent in literature, psychology, religion, etc. in literally hundreds of cultures and throughout history.

my scientific inquiries and understanding discounts the presence of all sorts of stuff. ESP for instance.

but not evil.

defining what evil is , is like defining what love is. difficult. doesn't make it any less real. could i describe the color red to you, if you had never seen it, or didn't believe in it?

much smarter men than i have spent thousands of words trying to do what you are asking me to do . i'll (cheaply) defer to them :)
