Is humanity more evil or more good?

Question

Or is there perfect equilibrium?

Would you end all humanity if it would put an end to all evil or allow good to flourish although it depends on evil to exist?

I'm asking your definition of evil and good, not my definition. if you can't define it then you don't have to answer or at least try to answer.

Answer 1

More evil or more good than what?

Answer 2

evil and good are human perspectives, so the answer would vary from person to person, but if you go by what the "common" perceptions of good and evil are, I'd have to say there's an equilibrium, but it's sometimes slanted toward one side or the other....given the current state of the world, it seems to be leaning more toward the evil end of the spectrum, though....

EDIT
My own personal outlook is that I'm neither good nor evil, I merely AM, and it's what you choose to label me that defines me as good or evil.

Answer 3

Define Evil. Define Good.

Answer 4

Without evil you can't have a definition of good. Everything one does is good in some way but evil in another. Even if you end humanity, that's the same--this is an example:
a hawk catches a mouse to eat-good
The mouse dies-evil

Answer 5

HUmanity is created good by God, and evil is not a creation of God but rather a distortion of God's creation....so I would not end humanity because, in the first place i don't have the power and authority to do that, second, i am not a judge of all humanity, third, i am not convinced that evil will triumph in the end...fourth, it's impossible for me to annihilate....

Answer 6

I believe that all of us have the capacity for both.

It all depends on what influences us in life. If you look at fully faithful people, they tend to be open to great harm or great good depending on who they place their trust in.

I wouldn't end all humanity if it meant the end of evil or dominance of Good.

That is the religious answer. A God will one day come to earth and destroy all humans that don't accept him, therefore doing away with evil forever. That is a common theme in the realm of Gods.

Answer 7

Man, in his natural flesh, is totally depraved. In his flesh, there is not one good thing in the eyes of God. The flesh is dead in trespasses and sins. One only needs to look at the news to see the totally depravity of mankind. We may do some "good" things in our flesh, but in God's eyes, they are worthless.

Isa 64:6 But we are all as the unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as a menstruation cloth. And we all fade as a leaf, and like the wind our iniquities take us away.

Rather graphic, but it shows how God views are supposedly "good" works in our flesh. Only the triune God of the Bible is good, and only by the indwelling of the Spirit and Christ's righteousness being imputed to us can we do anything that is "good" and pleasing to God.

Answer 8

Both Good & Evil Exist, one cannot exist with out the other, for both Thrive on each other to exist....

Answer 9

neither. humans are inherently stupid. only a couple people actually rise above that.

no. good and evil are illusions. the world would be "better" if there was enlightenment.

Answer 10

Salam
Humans where designed in goodness, he told you he made mankind and he saw it was good. That is the truth from your lord from Adam to Muhammed SAW. May we give thanks inshallah for they did a job we will never have to do and its been made easier for us all if only we took hold of that truth and seen we are better than any other creation through our own choices everyday.
