Is evil just the absence of Good? I've heard many theists say this, but I've never been convinced.
>>18004856Evil is completely subjective. Even christcucks believe it. Don't believe me? Make sure to ask christcucks to define it when they are defending God's actions rather than scrutinizing yours.
If you believe in religion then yes, otherwise its has no meaning.
>>18004856Potato is just the absence of burguer, ofc
>>18004856>"I know your works; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either cold or hot.>So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.side with good always. that's a non-issue
>>18005456To be able to side with the greater good we would have to know what the meaning of live is.
>>18004856Is good the absence of evil?
>>18004856The absence of good is nature. A star gives off heat and UV radiation not because it’s good or evil, it’s simply part of the natural process. Evil is the antithesis of good, its opposite, not its absence. Evil doesn’t exist without people to inflict it on others.
Evil is what causes harm, not a metaphysical absence.
>>18004856It's good that that argument never convinced you, its wrong. Nothing is nothing, good is good, evil is evil. If you want to go in deeper, evil is actually the active twisting and distortion of good things and the absence of things things into stuff that harms., so really evil relies on having things to twist, good does not. That is, the argument should be phrased the other way round: Good is when things are completely undistorted by evil. Things were made good, but many of those things have been twisted into evil. Sorry if that doesn't get the message through quite right, its very hard to end an explanation of a tough metaphysical concept in a remotely concise manner.
>>18004856Evil is the absence of empathy
