Is evil divine?

[Noetic 360]

I believe everything that exist is divine. Evil exist therfore it too is divine. Tell me what you think, and how you feel about that.

With vague terms like evil and divine what is there to think but that the above is a meaningless statement.

Why not? Good and evil are merely human terms, self-defined, without any absoluite basis.

So is divine. If the creature Christian people call God exists, is it divine or merely operating under different rules of reality than us? In which case, it is just another aspect of reality, just like we are, and no more nor no less divine than we are.

Without this god or any other god, in other words.

Evil; Wicked. 2: causing or threatning distress or harm. 3: a source of sorrow or distress.

Divine; Of relating to or being God.

These terms are not that vague to me, and I'm a low level scientist, but I apologize if they are to vague for you. PSYCH.

Cancer can cause distress or harm, yet itself is not an evil, just a medical condition. and the death resulting from a cancer can be a cause of sorrow and distress, but possibly also a release from a painful condition, therefore also a relief, and not necessarily an evil.
So your interpretation is somewhat lacking and still leaves us with a vague understanding of evil.

I have no reason to believe in a god, so divine remains a vague term.

What does being a scientist, low grade ( whatever that means) or not, have to do with this? this is more a problem of linguistics than science.

If you keep getting all technical like this, you'll clear this thread out pretty fast.

Good and evil are just how we determine our actions. To me there is no devine to it.

You might have something. What, then, is not divine?

[stardust]

No. If you define anything emanating from and pertinent to God as Divine. Then Evil is anything BUT divine. DUH And divinity is just the Quality of being divine. Evil stands at least 110 miles away from the definition.
Lets consider this from a different perspective. The type of Evil that could be linked to humanity is -not divine. Also, since God is Harsh to those who don't abide by his rules, then divnity could be wrath-some.
But it's not evil.

Linguistics/ ; The study of human speech including the units, nature, structure and development of language or a language.

Sounds like science to me.

Nothing.

Everything, rather. Divine does not exist, no more than your archaic definition of evil.

If God created the universe, than God created evil because evil is out here. Unless you believe things can exist outside the will of God.

You could be right. The only thing I know for sure is that I don't know everything.
