I know they have reasons to be evil. They view themselves as good, but normal people think of them as evil. |

Morals and principles are of the mind, not of the body. So whether our physical bodies evolved from beasts or not, our minds are nothing like the unaware consciousness of animals. |
|
If the theory of evolution holds true, then everything evolved from other animals. Including our brains. Animals who had these characteristics used them to survive in the wild. The ones who had these characteristics survived, and they passed them on to us. |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

Things are not as they seem
Hello CrimsonWolf. |
|
I think Mystic was using "you" in general, not meaning you in particular. |
|
Merlock correct. CrimsonWolf read more carefully I am not missing a point. You wanted to know what we thought. That's obviously what I think. So what is wrong with you. |

Nothing in life can be said to be unfair - everything is the result of freedom and where would freedom be without the feedom to take the consequences?
If you ask me, that's just creepy. Who needs a religion that works by coercion? |
