Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

"A good tree can not bring forth evil fruit, neither a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
So by their fruits ye shall know them." (Matthew 7: 18-20)

Am I pretentious? Yes, perhaps:)

What if they don't bear fruit at all?

And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

-Matthew 11 13-14

Thoose trees are dying soon and wont bear any fruits anymore.
Or maybe they are not pollinated by bees and will bear fruits next year perhaps.

Maybe Jesus answered and said unto it, No man can eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.

The Bible teaches very valuable lessons however, those lessons were, and still are applied the wrong way by many.

Is evil only the absence of good?? I'd really like to believe that! Makes it look so simple...

Willing and desiring make a potential for evil, there I agree:)

This is a very sensitive subject.
An evil doctor shouldn't speak aloud about his feelings.

Here is Lady al-Qaeda - the woman all jihadists want.
Mother of three Aafia Siddiqui, 42, was the only woman on America's list of the world's most wanted terrorists before she was arrested by security forces in Afghanistan in 2008.
Siddiqui studied cognitive neuroscience at Brandeis University located in Waltham, Massachusetts.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aafia_Siddiqui
Weird don't you Think?


Look, Dena! Look at Siddiqui the socialist.

Evil - yes. I haven't seen anything that indicates she is a socialist.


I claimed it. Isn't that enough?

..
I followed this story and it's hard to explain but I sensed where this woman was coming from, and it ain't good, believe me. Just like I sensed that 15 year old boy either didn't rape his mother or that she was lying about it. ...

No offence, Julie, but that's the attitude that drives lynch mobs. Often what we think we know or feel to be true simply isn't when we examine the evidence without prejudice.

Yes. Attitudes drives lynch mobs, but I think Julie was talking about intuition or gutfeeling.
I dont think human race would survive without intuition.
Lynch mobs dont have intuition.

Lynch mobs are often started because one or two individuals have a "gut feeling".

Treyvon Martin was murdered because someone had a "gut feeling".

Everyone has gut feelings...doesn't mean that they are a true assessment of what is going on.

I Think you are wrong.
Gut feeling is not a thing that several peoples can share.
Its very personal like Julie once stated.
Who is Treyvon Martin?

Thank hell you're not in government!

Imagine that at PMQs:
Q: "Mr Prime Minister, where is your proof that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction?"
A: "I claimed it, therefore it is so!"

That could never happen, right?

Lynch mobs and other forms of group hysteria are often led by a "Rabble rouser".
Someone who believes they have superior knowledge, intuition, deep insight, can
quite easily convince a receptive crowd of the the justice in a particular course of action.
Delusion is contagious.



Or 'Guru's' as my mother so eloquently calls them.

I remember Hans Blix from Sweden who lead the search for weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Iraq.
I met him once in a park in Stockholm.
Almost had to say to him. "Looking for WMD?. Well you dont find them here"

Are humans born evil? Personally, I doubt it, but seeing stories such as this every so often, I cannot help but begin to wonder...

Father to be charged with the murder of his 5 children aged 1 to 8

Sorry folks, if the death penalty was worldwide, I would offer my services free of charge - just to rid the world of scum like that!
