I don't think anyone's inherently evil.

@Graylight Pardon my insertion, but I think there is an implied context here. The debate of 'objective vs subjective evil' has gone on for millennia! Are there any politicians that you see as villainous? You know.....like 'Snidely Whiplash'? 😁

@Oberon1 I do get it, but I truly, honestly don't subscribe to the concept of evil, so I have no way to figure it in.

Are there politicians with bad intentions? Of course. There are nurses, teachers, coaches and accountants with bad intent.

@Graylight Okay! You're one of those..........😂✌️ I am an objectivist and you are a subjectivist! Surprise surprise! I am shocked right down to my toes!
I like fussing with you!

@Oberon1 Oh, but you're wrong. Subjectivism implies belief that knowledge is merely subjective and, as such, there's no external or objective truth.

I believe truths and natural laws are all around us and I fully believe that consequences lead to corrected behavior, reinforcing those objective laws and models. Man conceives penalty and judgment, so his God is punitive and judgmental. The Universe has no need of any of that.

I so agree!! People are so Judgmental which comes from social structure and self centeredness .
