Tell me why or why not.
If there is no such thing as good nor evil, then what do you call the inventor of life. I ask can anyone exist without taking life.

If it is a fact that people are inherently evil, you might as well kill yourself now.
There is nothing you can do to improve yourself.
I am sorry you feel so worthless.

I am aware of all my flaws, that's what makes me human. I do not profess to be perfect. I believe in good and evil, in the sense that an evil person is someone who does something heinous, like a sex offender who preys on children (who are good). I believe that people are inherently good at birth, but it's their formation throughout their lives that can turn them bad (or untreated mental illness).

well i am aware of my flaws as some ppl are and i admit im not a perfect person but neither are ppl who have faiths....no ones perfect....and i have a question for all those christians out there.....how is jesus perfect if "god" supposedly puts all of our sins in him? doesnt that make him a sinner too? also if u think that u are so perfect and are going to be saved and everything then how come the bible says that everyone sins? every day? anyways i dont believe in a good or an evil and if im an atheist i dont have an "inventor of life" or if u want to be specific about wat i believe i guess i would call them mom and dad.....and do u mean taking life as in killing someone....yes u can i mean have u ever killed someone? i havent for sure..........

i must admit i find this kind of qestion fairly insulting to my intellect. as a person i am well aware of my flaws and inconsistancies, but just because im athiest i'm not a bad person. you see evil is not just bound to athiests, you find pleanty of christian websites that spout pure billious evil. evil is a human condition as is goodness. it is all down to morals and how you perseive the world. notwithstanding that adolph hitler was a catholic and was found clutching the cross. this man also wanted the non religious terminated as much as he wanted the jews. as to whether anyone can exist without taking life that is a tad ambiguous as life is a circle of birth, life and death, so even as i'm typing this people are dying and are being born. that is down to nature and nothing more

I do not believe people are inherently evil. i am also not an ethical relativist. And I call "the inventor of life" a nonsense phrase.

Evil doesn't exist. It is a label we place on those things we find not congruent to our beliefs.
Murder is evil, most would say. But others, not. Who is right? Because it goes against the advancement of society, it would be deemed evil.
Is cannibalism evil? There are tribes in the Amazon that believe it to be okay. Are they wrong? It's part of their culture. Because the Christians went in and said "BAD BAD!" they stopped.
And yes, I am aware of my flaws and I do hide them. Doesn't everyone?

I'm aware of some of my flaws, like every normal person.
I don't hide any facts about people being inherently good or evil, not my job to.

I am quite aware of all of my faults thank you how about you ? As for your version of a creator do you realize that if " god " made man in his " own image " as the bible claims then according to that same source you are claiming here that god is as flawed and evil as man !

"I have no flaw." that in itself is a flaw. lol. One of the biggest hurdle atheists can't clear is the matter of morality. If they were versed in Kant or Existential arugument, they would have some answers but most of them really don't read.

Hmmm..... Well; where your question(s) are not loaded, they're pretty nonsensical. If you are an example of Christian intellectualism, then I'm gonna keep playing ball with the atheists - sheesh!
