Can someone be inherently evil?

[Regulus]

...because you could be helping a serial killer? Is that why?

[Regulus]

You have to give the person the benefit of the doubt. Chances are, they probably aren't an 'evil' person.

[Azdgari]

You don't have to choose/create elaborate scenarios. There's a hungry person on the street and you have food. Do you give it to him?

[Azdgari]

On the contrary, I think you're overcomplicating it. Life is not made up of situations with extensive moral complications. It's almost always very simple. So in this situation, like the real world, that's all you know. There is a homeless person hungry on the street and you have food.

[Azdgari]

That's because we debate fringe, extreme situations that force complicated moral thinking. Unless you are a president or some other important leader (or a judge), you will rarely, if ever, face situations as complicated as those we debate. The morals we apply to everyday life are rarely complicated, are they?

^ Exactly what I was saying 3 or so pages ago.

[Azdgari]

I wasn't arguing morals, I was just curious about yours.

One man's evil is another man's good. It is ok in Islam to mass murder people for not believing what you believe, where as the rational person would consider it an "evil" thing to do. You can't answer this question with an objective answer.
