This entire idea of "do you believe in evil?" is silly. Asking this is like asking "do you believe in the sun and the moon?". These ideas are taken from crazy nihilistic people who write books like "beyond good and evil".


We all know good and evil acts occur all the time and the humans doing them are the actors responsible. This is a known thing it isn't something we may or may not believe in like Aliens or something. What you should ask is, do you believe there are forces outside of a humans perception that guide and influence us. Ie: Angels and Demons. I personally believe there are. Becuase I believe everything in the Bible is true.

There are good hearted people who have compassion for others and though they are not without sin, they have an inner moral compass that guides them. They do good acts and they treat others the way a person should be treated. They care as much about another persons well being as their own. If someone needs help they will help them without wondering whats in it for me? These people however can and sometimes expose themselves to people and ideas that influence them into changing into a bad person.

And there are evil hearted people who have no compassion for others and their lives are saturated in sin. They have no inner moral compass to guide them. They do evil acts and treat others anyway they wish regardless of the consequences, and regardless of the pain it might inflict. All they care about is themselves. if someone needs help they will wonder whats in it for me. they will secretly not want to help at all. These people can at anytime wake up from their unhealthy life and becuase of good people or influences they can change into a good person.

read the screwtape letters by CS Lewis. it shows you how a person can be influenced.
