With thinking like that some would say you’re evil.
It comes from the Godwannabes.
Obviously evil is not intelligent.
Exclusively?
The Godwannabes also stem from it.
Are you referring to the Bible, or to RM:AO, or to both?
To “Truth” … so take your pick. 
They are delusional, brainwashed minds brainwashed by society.
Why I would not even make them work a 9 to 5. I would give my slaves amenities.
Somehow I am the evil one, when society treats it’s slaves worse than I would mine. How does that add up?
I have already taken my pick. 
Note I am not referring to any ontological evil, e.g. the existence of Satan, devil, etc., in this post.
What is evil?
What is not good is by default evil. Evil is any thing that is net-negative and net-harm to the individual and therefrom to the well being of humanity.
The concept of evil can be very subjective and to ensure a high degree of objectivity we need to establish the following;
- Obtain a full or thorough listings of what acts are generally termed directly or synonymously as ‘evil.’
- Obtain consensus on what is obviously recognized as evil.
- Put aside contentious elements for further deliberations.
I don’t think it is difficult for us to agree on a list representing what is obviously ‘evil’.
- In general most people will agree mass genocides, mass rapes, serial killing, premeditated murder, tortures, torture then murder are ‘evil’.
- Deliberately lying is evil albeit of low degree in comparison to those in 1.
If we do a serious exercise of a taxonomy of the elements of evils, I am sure most people can agree on a listing on what is obviously recognized as evil of various degrees [putting aside whatever is contentious for further deliberations]. This common consensus of ‘what is evil’ as supported with a list of evil elements is our objective grounds [not absolute but open for contentious views any time] to deliberate on the issues of evil.
Where does evil come from?
DNA wise, All humans are born with the inherent POTENTIAL to be beastly and evil.
note potential mean dormant within and is not active until activated
To facilitate survival all humans are endowed with a neural circuit to kill and maim [including other physical and mental harm to others] within the basement of their brain. It is critical to kill animals for food and kill other humans to defend oneself, etc. These killing and harmful impulses are termed ‘evil’ when perverted from their natural instinctive purposes.
Because the potential to be evil is embedded deep in the brain as an instinct, there is no way of getting rid of it physically at present. However through 6 millions of progress this potential to be evil is suppressed in humans at the present by inhibitors and triggered when necessary.
One critical point relevant in this case is, based on empirical evidences, all human variables are naturally and Normally Distributed over a range of degrees from low to high. Thus what we have with humans is the inhibitors that suppressed the evil potential in all humans come within a range from very strong, average to very weak.
Since a percentile of ‘very weak’ inhibitors will naturally exist, there will be human who has weak to very-weak inhibitors that are unable to suppress the evil potential within them. These are the percentile of humans who are born with an active evil tendency to commit evil of various degrees [from low, average to high].
These are the people who are compelled to commit evil on their own evil impulses or when their evil tendencies are triggered by external stimuli, e.g. violent elements in various medias, movies, books, etc.
There are a percentage of people who are born with a good set of strong inhibitors that suppressed their inherent evil potential. However all neuron inhibitors are subject to atrophy and damage [various reasons]. Thus some humans who are born with good tendencies can turned to be evil prone if their inhibitors are weakened due to various reasons.
So as long as there are humans, a percentile [%] will be evil prone naturally from birth due to nature and some turned evil due to nurture factors. This is the basis where evil came from.
The above is the reason why there is so much evil acts being committed by SOME humans at any time. There is no Satan, devil, Iblis existing out there seducing humans to be evil. The so-called “Satan” is within humanity and active in SOME humans due to weak inhibitors.
Solutions to deal with Evil
The most effective solution to prevent and reduce evil is to
- get rid of the killing and fighting impulses that has evil potential or
- increase the strength and efficiency of the inhibitors [brakes] that modulate the impulses that can turned evil when perverted.
I don’t believe option 1 is possible because they are necessary for survival, etc. and beside they are embedded very deep in the brain thus more complicated to deal with due to their interdependent and complex connectivity throughout the whole brain.
I believe option 2 is very possible and many has been tried and are successful except they are not practiced by the masses because of their ignorance and the defending/resisting nature of their religion.
What happened to ‘bad’?
These days human acts are getting more and more terrible, atrocious, etc. such that the term ‘bad’ is insufficient to convey the essence of those acts to motivate the relevant preventive strategies. The term ‘bad’ these days invoked a sense that such a ‘bad’ act is like child play and deserved merely a spank.
This is why more and more people, example philosophers and others are invoking the term ‘evil’ to represent the full range of the worst of human acts.
The term ‘evil’ give a stronger bite and grip on the problem.
Since we are using the term ‘evil’ to deal with the very serious issues, we have to use it as a common denominator to represent other bad acts [to facilitate communications] and thus we introduce “evil” within a continuum from low evil [say 5/100] to very evil [99/100] within a hierarchy and taxonomy.
Human acts of bad or evil have not increased. Actions are just broadcasted more. Something horrible occuring in a little town would not have made national news fifty years ago unless a well known person was involved.
That’s the perception that people now have because of the influence of mass media. The media makes money by reporting extreme behavior and extreme events. ‘Bad’ won’t make the 6 o’clock news.
It distorts by putting behaviors which are on a spectrum, into two extremes categories. Now things, which were classified as only bad in the past, are called evil and people react to them as though they are truly evil. One sees this in social media when someone makes a small mistake and it brings forth an extreme reaction - often proposing death as a suitable punishment.
Exactly
In big cities it is just the other way around. Criminal activities are more and more kept secret by media, politics, police, … and so on (at last also by most people). More and more people live in bigger and bigger becoming cities. Since 2008 more than 50% of all humans have been living in cities (for comparison only: in 1950 that percentage was 30%; and in 2030 it will estimately be 60%). So, unfortunately, one has to state that human acts of bad or evil have increased. The reason is a simple one, bioecologically and anthropologically said: Humans are not made for cities, for living in such a settlement density, population density; humans are made for a life in a relatively small group.
[tab]An example: The city Shenzhen in China had 30000 inhabitants in 1979 but 10.5 million inhabitants in 2011.

I can agree with all that but still in a normal human way of living , it has not changed. Cities like that are abnormal… Oh there are just a few smartass things running through my head about people and cities, I better not…
Cities like that are abnormal, but they exist. They are architectural facts of human history.
As I said: Humans are not made for big cities or cities at all but for thorps, villages; because they are living beings of relatively small groups (like packs, prides, flocks, herds).
Humans are made for adapting… Though we can reallllllllly fight it. As humans adapt to large communities self preservation kicked in, you ceased to see faces and identifiers. Ever live in a huge city? I spent most of my life in large cities. You really just float through life not thinking about the humanity surrounding you, they in essence become objects. Yet I see change /adaptation beginning . The most notorious community,Harlem, is changing becoming more humane.
Humans are are capable of both adaptation and non-adaptation. Humans can dissociate from nature, can fight against nature. The more culture/civilization humans have, the more anti-natural they are.
In the same time, more and more other notorious communites are becoming more and more inhumane.
Nobody knows, when and how this is going to stop.
