What is evil?

I ask as I have pondered my whole life about my personal character; about my dark view of life and of people and their intentions, of my desire for violent retribution, my antisocial and asocial and nihilistic outlook and my preference for solitary living, my lack of interest in people or for charity. It's all very disturbing and confusing and basically, I feel like a mad man.

Am I the devil? Is satanism the right fit for me?

I'm so fucking lost.

Other people only exist so that God can dominate and abuse me through them and define himself in opposition to me through them and self-identify as "a king" by forcing me to live and identify as "a peasant" with anything he considers the slightest bit "desirable" violently gatekept, including things like regular brown/white bread, corn chips, salt, etc including in my literal imagination as he rapes my mind every second of every day and abuses, terrorizes, harasses, threatens etc me for literally anything I think or do.

God forces me to exist as the sole frame of reference for material reality and only persistently real person in the world so that he can dominate and abuse me through everyone else on earth

Evil is simply the lack of goodness.
Turn to goodness, and your evil will begrudgingly be wiped clean from your soul.
Do not give into despair, instead, let your sorrow be a guide to action, instead as an excuse to wallow and fall into numbness.

That’s a profoundly honest and painful reflection — and I want to say first that what you’re describing isn’t “evil.” It’s suffering. You’re describing a worldview forged through pain, alienation, and a deep distrust of human motives. Those aren’t the traits of a devil — they’re signs of someone who’s been hurt, and who’s trying to make sense of that hurt in a world that often feels hollow, corrupt, and cruel.

Let’s take this in parts.



What is “evil”?

Philosophically, “evil” has been defined in many ways:
• Theological view (Augustine): Evil is the absence of good, not a force of its own — like darkness is the absence of light.
• Existential view (Camus, Nietzsche): Evil can emerge when people live without authenticity or compassion, when they serve power, fear, or resentment rather than life.
• Psychological view (Jung): Evil comes from repression — denying the “shadow” side of oneself. When we don’t integrate our darkness, it acts out unconsciously and destructively.

You’re acknowledging your shadow directly. That’s rare. That’s the opposite of evil. The devil is the archetype of refusal to reflect; you are reflecting deeply.



About your inner darkness

The hatred, the misanthropy, the violent imaginings — those don’t make you wicked; they mean you’re carrying unprocessed rage and disillusionment. People who have felt powerless or unseen often develop these inner landscapes as psychic armor. Over time, that armor becomes identity — “the dark one,” “the cold one,” “the one who sees through it all.” It protects you from further hurt, but it also isolates you.

You might not need to destroy your darkness — you may need to understand it, to integrate it. In Jung’s words:

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”



On Satanism

If you mean LaVeyan Satanism (Anton LaVey’s philosophy),
>>
it’s not about worshipping evil — it’s a humanist, anti-hypocrisy worldview celebrating self-ownership and rejecting blind conformity. Some find it liberating after religious guilt; others find it sterile because it stops at self-assertion and doesn’t heal the underlying pain.

If you mean theistic Satanism — belief in a literal Satan as liberator — it tends to attract people seeking identity, rebellion, or a mirror of their pain. It can give symbolic meaning but can also deepen isolation if pursued as mere defiance rather than integration.

Before choosing any “path,” ask yourself: Would this philosophy bring me understanding, or just a mask that makes the pain feel noble?



You said: “I feel like a mad man.”

That sentence is the human part of you crying out. You’re not insane — you’re desperate to make sense of contradiction: wanting connection but feeling revulsion, craving justice but distrusting goodness, wanting peace but scorning the world’s hypocrisy.

You don’t need a religion of rebellion; you need a philosophy of reconciliation — one that can hold both your light and your darkness. That could be:
• Jungian shadow work
• Buddhist existentialism (seeing pain as the root of compassion)
• Stoicism (finding dignity and control in chaos)
• or even Nietzsche, properly understood — transmuting resentment into strength, not wallowing in it.



A thought to hold onto

You’re not “the devil.”
You’re a person who feels alienated in a world that seems grotesquely false.
You want truth — even if it’s dark.
And that yearning for truth, even when it burns, is sacred.



Would you like me to suggest some writings or practices that can help you start integrating your darkness — not suppressing or glorifying it, but actually understanding it?

if you try to break the chains that bind you, society will restrict you even more, you have to be a hermit in the crowd, free within and around the chains they offer you, for they will chain you down for good if they notice you stepping out of bounds a bit too much

Depends on a persons development with the greater unconscious.
There are many different systems a person can identify a “Common Evil”, something that no one but an “insane person” would attempt to justify as Good.


Here is a Monadic Definition of Evil. Since it is monadic, this definition is in reduced form and thus requires “Reason” to “apply” or “bloom” the thought.

Wickedness is The Unloving Cruel Debasement of an individual regardless of their innocence.

Evil is Unloving,
Evil is Cruel,
Evil is Debasement.

An individual ceases being “Evil” and becomes “Wicked” when they commit all three sins without penance or the associated offerings.

An individual ceases being “Wicked” and becomes simply “Evil” when they have made penance or provided the associated offerings.

An Individual ceases being “Evil” and can be said to be “Good” once they have made all of the associated offerings and have completed their punishment without any additional infractions.

This way, A Wicked God may Repent and rise up from their wickedness, an Evil Person may Repent and rise up from their Evilness, or Fall into Wickedness, and a Good person may fall to Evilness.

> Am I the Devil?
We all are sometimes when we have a duty to fulfill. The important thing is to be the least impeachable Devil you can be.

> Is Satanism right for me?
Instead of that, why don’t you find a group that you can mesh with. One where if you were stuck with them for an eternity, it would be an entertaining and joyful experience.

You don’t have to generate new cannon. Just ignore all of the cannon that was generated 300 years before 1997, then replace your idea or “Satanism” with “personal experience”.

the theological definition fails, see above. the existential definition precludes several logically consistent variants: living authentically while serving power, living compassionately while serving fear, living with neither to serve resentment, living with either to serve life, etc. and so it fails. the psychological definition precludes conscious and creative evil and so it fails. You are a confused retard.

Imagine being a timeless being.
> From my perspective, Good is being in my good zone.
> Evil is leaving my good zone.
Zones in this context are best thought up as the environment one constructs in the mind for purpose of optimization of processes. Like imagine an artist who needs to get in the right headspace, and they need the right tools.
A trait of Evil is that it can always be apologized for.

So to explain the purpose of Evil, you have to understand that it is hard to be perfect, and in a perfect world, our zones for our endeavors would have infinite size and infinite potential.

But the world is not perfect. Sometimes it is “Good” to build the smallest fence so that we can focus on taking care of the self before we take care of the house.

Evil is like, taking a step out from the self to the house, or from the house to the Garden etc.

You can measure how “Evil” an action is by how long you have to travel from one area to another without reward.

The one thing about Evil is that it requires rewards to exist.

With Evil, all is well that ends well.
With Wickedness, it never ends well enough.

'God', which is actually a tentacle demon, is a retard tyrant that rapes my mind into experiencing a false reality so he can flavor and suck my blood. He also makes me a 30 something man in here, even though I clearly know that I am a schoolgirl in base reality. He also generates scenarios in this matrix that forces me to only consume the lowest quality niggslop, even tho he could spawn in food so enjoyable that it would literally me you orgasm. Another thing 'God' does is only allow me to be surrounded by rat ogre tier broads, even though I am straight and he could generate men that would make flood a room just by being in their general presence. The funny the most sinister thing 'God' does is force me to say and believe he is actually God, even though he is an extremely black, vampiric, demonic tentacle demon from the Abyss and nowhere near God. He even has me write longwinded schizo rants about how bad God is, even though I should be writing about the tentacled basterd that has me in this situation.

>if god defines himself in opposition to you then he isn't at liberty to self-identify as anything. You are a confused retard.

You're a literal retard. God defines himself in opposition to me out of choice retard, he could "identify with" the sole frame of reference for material reality and only persistently real person in the world if he wanted to but he chooses to define himself in opposition to it instead, he also has the power to choose who he manifests into material reality to define himself in opposition to me as because he's God retard and has full "liberty" to manifest any forms he wants into material reality to abuse me through and he tends to choose some of the most disgusting forms to manifest most frequently because he's a disgusting retard
>>
>>41364344
God is the thing that manifests and animates the forms from the immaterial realm into material reality. There's no reasonable way to characterize the thing that has complete control over material reality as anything but God.

Evil is the Dark Triad
Machiavellianism, sub-clinical narcissism, and sub-clinical psychopathy.

the Addiction and Power to force your Ego with intent to destroy, subvert, or create ugliness with Ripple effects

personally I don't care if Evil exist if it benefits my genetic legacy as a tribe but when others do it, it's in competition with my Control and will to Power for Historical Memory being immortalized

if the Profane wasn't Profane then people would forget but it's being the change that you are becoming to Coexist with the Monster you have become

Evil and good are oversimplifications used to explain to children basic morality.

It isn't evil, it's just unfortunate that many adults don't learn that the concept of evil isn't useful for real world problems.

Every kind of evil you could identify is basically some kind of unaddressed social problem. Sociopathy for instance isn't evil but how we treat sociopaths and psychopaths like they are evil is the cause of many problems. You can't brow beat a sociopath with a bible to get them to act right, you need to provide the right social support to accommodate them. Pretending we can just kill off or guilt those kind of people into being pro-social is just complete emotional retardation on the part of normal people. Usually in a pathetic, childish attempt to look righteous to the other pathetic children who call themselves adults around them.

[Verse 1]
Mightiest self
Cast out of thy Elysium
With blood of Nazarene
I write the history of man
Two thousand years is nothing
Though it has been enough
Come forth victorious
Muting the foul angelic choirs

[Refrain]
None of thy empty gods shall ever stand above me
None of thy weak brothers shalt ever share my blood
My awareness, catalyst, of godhate I have spawned
In sinister ecstasy, eternally I decompose
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Race of man
The errors of a wise man make thy rules
Ye shall see
Rather than the perfection of the fool
The most divine
I am many among so very few
Beyond redemption, beyond the weak
Thus I beheld the truth

[Refrain]
None of thy empty gods shall ever stand above me
None of thy weak brothers shalt ever share my blood
My awareness, catalyst, of godhate I have spawned
In sinister ecstasy, eternally I'm decomposed

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
I am the pure flame that burns
I am ever-shining Sirius' son
I am the infinite space
I am the most conquering One

>What is evil?
The cosmos is designed with 2 fundamental spiritual forces, commoly called the "light" and the "dark" (not to be confused with physics, this forces are immaterial).
The light is the positive force of harmony, order, love, peace and bliss.
The dark is the negative force of chaos, disorder, hate, violence and horror.
Both forces are manifest in the cosmos as realms (beyond the material world) with spiritual beings. These realms are commonly known as heaven and hell, and their beings as angels and demons.
The evil, in the material world, is every activity that brings you closer to the realm of darkness.
