Question for you:
Do you consider Aleister Crowley and Anton LaVey to be true incarnations of evil roaming the earth?
By the same Token, do you think any human is capable of becoming 'evil' as it were via changing thier belief system to something other than the path to God?
In concurrence with my second question, do you think buddhists are evil people?

(ADDED)
So by the responses I am seeing I am also curious. Do you feel that buddhists will goto hell due to the fact that they do not follow the correct path to God?
Do you feel they deserve it, as in my opinion they are good people.

1) No. I do not believe that evil can be incarnate.
2) People are not evil. People are flawed, and can fall prey to evil. Evil is a force, unseen. But it can indeed manifest itself IN people.
3) Buddhists? Evil? Are you joking? They are some of the most peaceful people I know.

Incarnations, no, but they both died as evil men. Both rejected Christ in their lifetime for evil pursuits and power, and magnifying and gratifying their sinful natures, while dabbling with the occult and accumulating the power of evil spirits.
Paul says in Romans, "All have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God." Yes, any human is capable of becoming evil. Look at the lives of these two men, and Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein and his sons, Nero, and several others throughout history.
Anybody who rejects the grace of God will be counted as among the evil. This includes Buddhists who believe that by living a good life they can ultimately be reincarnated as a cow, the ultimate life form. You must be born again spiritually, confess your sins and seek forgiveness to be accepted into the Kingdom of God. Buddhists reject God and look to themselves for salvation.
By this token, I am no better than anybody else. The only thing that sets me apart is that I have accepted Jesus as my personal savior and choose to live by the Bible. When I sin, I confess and pay restitution, and bear the punishment. God forgives and that counts as righteousness and worthy of entry into the Kingdom of God. Everybody is offered this.

Never heard of Crowles & LaVey.
Yes I believe in evil human's.
No not all buddhists are evil. In fact, I find the celebate Buddhist monkes facinating.

I dont know who the first 2 are, I do believe some people might become evil... and I do not believe buddhists are evil.
My humble christian-catholic opinion only.

By evil do you mean posessed by a demon? If so, then no. Crowley and LaVey were just people like everyone else. Evil to me is stuff like sacrificing babies and murder. I don't think anyone mentioned in your quesiton does or did all that.
