According to religious beliefs, I saw women are consider as a symbol of evil, such as Eve disobeying God's order not to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge. Also, night demons like Lilith are women too! Also, they said mostly women participate in evil stuff like black magic and witchcraft. However, man did more evil doings like raping women, killing innocents, abuse women and children and more. What you guys think?

Actually, you are generalizing that "religious beliefs" indicate that women are evil. That is a stereotype based on a sample of religious people, and does not encompass all of religion. Many religions and interpretations of religion do NOT suggest this at all, including Christianity from most points of view. There are people who have interpreted Christianity as such, but usually they were in paternalistic societies or were trying to justify their own authority. Historical studies, however, suggest that few people in history have actually thought that women were more evil then men, though it IS true that some societies believed (and believe) women to be more ignorant.

Meanwhile, thousands of examples from the middle ages until the end of the Colonial period have men, as well as women, being accused of witchcraft and sorcery. Sure, Lilith is an example in your favor, but what about benandantis in early modern Europe or werewolves in Germany during the middle ages that were usually men? What about the fact that most accused witches in the early modern period were following a leader that was usually a man? That man was often accused of more harsh crimes than the women, because he was evil enough to lead the poor, "ignorant" women astray.

It is true that men have done evil things like raping and killing, but women have been guilty of committing violent crimes, too. You do not see it as much, however, because men have traditionally been in the positions of power. Women, when cast into powerful positions, have not always been less ruthless. Elizabeth I, Queen Isabella of Castile, and Catherine the Great are all good examples. That they do not commit rapes very often is a matter of biology, not necessarily a result of more benevolence.

So in my opinion, neither gender is MORE evil. I simply do not believe in taking a group of people and asssigning some sort of trait to them like they are all the same. Some men are evil, it is true. Many are not. Some women are evil as well. Many are not. Some religious people believe women are weak or evil. Many of them do not. To suggest otherwise is classic stereotyping.

"According to religious beliefs, I saw women are consider as a symbol of evil, such as Eve disobeying God's order not to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge."

Adam was told of the tree of knowledge of good and evil before Eve was even created from his rib. There was no way for her to judge the serpents words. There is no writings of God or Adam cluing her in.

"Also, night demons like Lilith are women too!"

The the books used by the Rabbis and Rebbes it is told that Lilith was created before Adam as a human woman......not a demon. She wasn't demonized until CE.

"mostly women participate in evil stuff like black magic and witchcraft."

Mostly women attend Sunday Christian Church services than men--does that make them less than men. Also, Witchcraft includes evil things like working with herbals, doing Oil and warmth cures, midwifing, dowsing--your judgement of "evil stuff is rather lame.

Men have always been the physical protectors on faiths, ideals, and family. They have also carried their protection to extremes of aggressiveness..

All you can do is go by the stastics of what is evil. They both have the ability to be pretty evil. However, 95% of the prison population is male. 97% of the gays are male.
Most drunk driving tickets are given to males. Google it!
The insurance companies say that most wrecks are done by male drivers. Spousal abuse is done almost exclusively by males. Pedofiles are 97% male.
Almost 99% of murders including war is done by males.
Rarely is a women a serial killer.
In prison the males repeatedly rape other males.
In womens prisons the women are raped by male guards.
Men would have you believe women are evil because they have the ability to talk them into stuff. But by and large it is the males who do the stuff that gets them into trouble.
Most contacts sports where people get hurt is exclusively male dominated. Like boxing, wrestleing, football and hockey.
Face it men are mean! and the storys they tell about women are highly exagerated. While they play down their brutal acts of torture and murder. I mean when was the last time you seen an army of women hacking each other up with axes on the battle field.

How To Spot Evil Women

Lesson 1 - The Smile

Girls use the smile as a defense and as a decoy
from their evil nature. Look at every girl and examine
the smile for any hint of evil.

(eyes give much of there sinister nature away)

Lesson 2 - Flirting

All women will tell you flirting is a normal
behavior, even when you are together. This
is a horrible lie, and gives girls the advantage to
practice their skill even while holding a man
tight in their grasp. You need to look for the eyes
and the way she talks with other men, can
you hear the seduction in her voice.......


Lesson 3 - Lies, Lies, Lies

Guys. We always seem to be called on
our lies. Have you ever wondered why that
is? It is because girls are the master of lies,
that is why they can detect them. We must become
better listeners, not for their benefit, but for our own.
If you can catch a girl in a lie she will crack and
reveal all her evil, unfortunately it is very difficult to
do. Remember, girls always trust each other.
If you can crack one, the whole system falls.

Evil is evil, good is good, varous mxtures of good and evil are what they are — it is not a useful practice (either in terms of religion or in terms of applied ethics to debate this in gender terms). Even the most rigorous religious concepts objectify evil as such. If there is a devil (for example) that personifies evil the form that it takes can vary. Don't fixate on which sex represents evil more freqently. There is enough for all. Too much.

well Eve wasnt responsible for the Fall of Mankind -- both Adam and Eve were, according to the Quran but it was Adam who had a far more responsibility and duty than Eve, because Adam was first created and Eve was created from him. the Quran does not say that Eve persuaded Adam to eat of the apple, it says that the Satan persuaded them both together. and there are no women/men demons. muslims beleive that a spirit that has committed suicide or has any desires unfulfilled before their death roam the earth.

I'd say we have a pretty good lead in that department,what with men like Hitler, Stalin,Attila the Hun and so many others throughout history.Women have a long way to go to catch us,but they do have Hillary Clinton working for them in that regard.

There are so many examples I could give arguing both sides.

But biologically, woman is engineered to be both hormonally and emotionally nurturing to propulgate the species. We are the gentler sex.

But not any less evil...bwah ha ha ha ha

Both are equally evil. He had a choice as to whether or not he should disobey God and eat of the forbidden fruit and he chose to eat it.
This nature continues to plague humans even to today.
Choose to obey God and you'll be okay.
