You tell us.
How would you call all the killing around the world ? What is the name for deformed born babies ?Hunger in Africa ? 9/11 ? Irak ? etc. etc. etc.
By its generally accepted definition, yes I do believe that evil exists - and that any human is capable of evil.
But, I do not believe that evil is any related to any sort of spiritual party - basically, I do not believe in the devil.
I also do not personally define 'evil' by religious definition, e.g. 'sin'. There are good and bad, and every living person is capable of doing both.
Man has always the free will to do bad and good, but when man chooses evil, he/ she is deviating from the common sense, from the human nature and morality... Evil is what we create not what hits us... Why do we have Hitler and at the same time we Ghandi for instance? They both chose and decided...

Human nature.. we all have a dark side.
the old question again!

then God too have an evil side in him.
.. and who created god would seem a fair question. Also a good explanation of how Adam and Eve's children got to populate without incest etc.
God created evil...and the devil...He's a prick...or just make believe...

Evil really exists. If it didn't the world would have been a better place but we must agree that we are largely responsible for it by allowing our greed overshadow our conscience.
