This is for all ages, especially for readers who love philosophy.
"Thou shalt not commit murder - not to steal another person's life. Thou shalt not commit adultery - not to steal the faith and trust of your spouse. Thou shalt not bear false witness - not to steal the truth. Thou shalt not steal - not to steal property. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods - not to steal (or lust for) property. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife - not to steal the bonds of matrimony. " The Bible
Most of us would agree, that these commandments if broken are an act of evil. The nature of evil is acting in way that will harm ones self or any other living thing on earth. Evil acts can be classified under lesser evil, medium evil, and greater evil. Evil is the opposite of good. God made us with free will. He cannot control the evil that occurs in the world. Evil is the opposite of God, which is loving, peaceful, and good. Evil can be classified as any action that is not morally good. For example, being envious, murdering, stealing etc... Evil is within everyone, no matter how good we are.
Good example...But what if you don't bbelieve in God? Are there others that you can come up with?
