Its called "sins of omission." I studied this topic in a college course called the theology of good and evil. Basically we concluded that evil is essentially the lack of good, like the air bubbles in a jello mold. Its not there on purpose but the fallible nature of man allows for the possibility of it.<br/><br/>PS - this is the same poster as above that raised the original question.

Me? Well, what you see is what you get. <br/><br/>Yes. I really am this weird. :)<br/><br/>And if you think about it, the human race hasn't been around that long and we're quickly killing ourselves off. With or without the internet.

Are people predisposed to being evil? In Scott's case (and yeah, I think about things like this waaaay too much), it's pretty clear he went evil to please his father, to find a way to be closer to Dr. Evil (though he was way cuter before he went evil...and his evil cackle...ick). <br/><br/>In short, I believe evil is made, not born. But that's just one person's opinion. Good question. Are people predisposed to being evil?

Maybe its genetically ingrained in someone to be evil. Just look at Dr. Evil and Scott. There's a philosophical doozy of a question. Is man guilty until proven innocent or vice versa. Ha ha... now my brain hurts. How do you know its a choice. Maybe its genetically ingrained in someone to be evil. Just look at Dr. Evil and Scott. There’s a philosophical doozy of a question.
