Epic Sail – part 23
The definition of evil I use comes from U of T professor Jordan Peterson. He’s got a great lecture on it on TV Ontario’s website. He’s got some really great ideas and interesting ways of presenting them, so if you need something to listen to while you’re colouring your own webcomic, (or whatever) give it a listen. You don’t really need to see the visuals.

Haven’t watched the video, but I think you can also be evil passively (the Catholics’ “by action or by omission†prayer).

“what if we turn evil? I’ll have to start wearing cologne.”

Thanks for the lecture link. Some good stuff to think about.

Echo – Yeah, I think that might be the sloth in the deadly sins. (not to be confused with Sloth from the Goonies).
ColdFusion – ha!
Golux – glad you enjoyed the talk!

Its fairly simple as far as I’m concerned. Evil is causing harm when you either knew your actions were harmful or had the information necessary to figure it out if you had thought about it.
