The word "evil" gets bandied about here quite often and it's one of those words that probably means different things to different people. It has a religious connotation for me but I don't know if it's the same for the rest of you. For example, when I read "communism is evil" I think that whoever wrote that believes that somewhere along the way "The Devil" had something to do with it. Or at least that mysterious "Dark Forces" are involved. Myself, I am of the opinion that "The Devil" is "Not Real" but others probably have a different idea. Hell (no pun intended) some people might think that I am in the clutches of Satan because I don't believe the hype he (she?) gets.
George W. Bush uses the term quite often and he cultivates a real "churchy" image so I think he is talking about the "supernatural" when he's up there yakking away about "evil doers" and "gathering storms".
Anyhow... what does "evil" mean? Does it just mean "bad" or is it a bible thing?
