In your opinion, who is the most evil person in history?

Answer 1

Christopher Columbus. he allowed European people to migrate to the U.S. and just read your history books about what has happened here since including slavery of indigenous peoples to begin with then onwards and upwards to these other events through today.

Answer 2

We all are capable of murder and any number of horrible things under the right circumstances. However, what really fascinates me is the primitive nature of our laws. For example, I served on a jury in a capital case. It was a was about a young man who committed a hanus crime, but the part that really floored me was the total disregard for the life story of this man who would end up killing an old person and forfeiting his life in such a meaningless way. "Why did he commit this murder," seems to me to have been equally as important as the question, "Did he commit this murder?" Of course you have to prove that he did, but the evidence was solid from the beginning of the trail.
In this great Country of ours, children are killing children with hands guns at ever increasing frequentcy, or to dam often.
I ask you, can violent TV be the only cause of our children to be out of control and throwing their lives away for no good. The answer is no. There are other reason this is happening to America.
It maybe that with all our potenial for changing the way things are going in our Country, the main causes of these problems are getting worse, not better. So I ask you? Who are the evil people who are causing our children to kill, rape and generally make a mockery of our high regard for ourselves?

Answer 3

Hitler is an obvious first thought. The sad reality is that he thought he was doing the best thing for his country. Rasputin was horribly misunderstood as well. Machiavelli was trying to help his new king. Generally speaking, the only truly evil people are the ones you never hear about. I'm sure that even Jack the Ripper thought he was doing the "right" thing, and given his intended targets, he was probably a moralist. Even the terrorists that we so demonize here think they are doing the "right" thing. It all depends on your perspective.
Add in: Hitler had plenty of respect for human life, so long as you weren't Jewish, or Black, or a Gypsy. Ivan the Terrible was just a child who was handed power. He probably thought he was doing the "right" thing too, which was whatever he wanted.

Answer 4

Hitler immediately comes to mind, but Stalin killed a helluva lot of people and didn't even give a lame excuse for doing so. I can think of a lot of evil people who just weren't as effective or didn't have the technological advances, but may have been more evil (the BTK killer, for example). However, I will go with Stalin.

"The number of people who perished in the purges is subject to hot disputes with death toll estimates ranging from 1 to 100 million people, depending on who counts and what is counted as a purge."

Answer 5

There's been lots of abominable people throughout history. How do you rate them? Do you put Jack the Ripper or Jeffrey Dahmer on the same scale as Hitler or Saddam Hussein? Are they supposed to be judged by how evil their actions were or the number of people who died at their hands?

Answer 6

Hitler was a forerunner of the next antichrist, a man deeply into the occult and led by demons(according to his own admission - his adviser was Lucifer who paid him visits in his room). He showed all the signs of complete degeneracy to the extent that he was called that "horrible sexual degenerate" by Mussolini! Killing the Jews en masse came naturally to him and he possessed an entire country with his ideas, something few evil men have been able to do.
Stalin, leader of the Soviet union being formerly a bank robber was just as evil, as an atheist. He did not dabble in the occult but he brought forth the idea of jailing entire generations in the gulag, something that Kim Jong II of N. Korea faithfully follows today and also enshrined himself as God in every Soviet home. During his rule, the Soviets in the countryside were systematically robbed of their provisions to feed the cities and many cannibalized their own children. The horrors of these two in the last century are unimaginable.
Today these two evils (atheism and the occult) are working together again in America to destroy Christians spiritually and Jews physically worldwide. That has always been the aim of Satan to destory and degrade humanity and he always finds willing slaves from these two streams to do it.

Answer 7

Joseph Stalin

Answer 8

Tomas de Torquemada - Born in Spain in 1420, his name is synonymous with the Christian Inquisition's horror, religious bigotry, and cruel fanaticism. He was a fan of various forms of torture including foot roasting, use of the garrucha, and suffocation. He was made Grand Inquisitor by Pope Sixtus IV. Popes and kings alike praised his tireless efforts. The number of burnings at the stake during Torquemada's tenure has been estimated at about 2,000. Torquemada's hatred of Jews influenced Ferdinand and Isabella to expel all Jews who had not embraced Christianity.

Answer 9

Gengis Khan

Answer 10

Hmmm, probably Stalin. His intent was pure evil.
