well I'm pretty sure that gazelle would agree with me


laugh Of course I recognize that as a joke, but no, the gazelle has no concept of good and evil.



"Evil" is only defined within religious doctrine. "Sin" is only defined within religious doctrine (and sin amounts to disobedience of the law of their God, whoever they conceive him or her to be.)


evil is not only defined within the religious doctrine it is part of the language of our soceity ..when someone says something is evil doesn't automatically point to religion ..even sin is not strictly religious anymore and is now referred to as being a guilty pleasure


It is only part of the language of our society because religion is so completely ingrained into the society, that the words are used by people who don't even realize the religious and moral significance of them and how they are tied into religious doctrine.



Animals don't sin because they don't worship God or have religions. Therefor, if eating the flesh of other creatures is natural, as a lion does, then it is also natural for a man.


it's that man is placed in the position of having to feed on death to live what's makes him and all life inherently evil



That is only if you want to define energy transfers as evil. Energy is exchanged in this world in this manner. It is the natural way this world operates and survives. The term "evil" is only defined in religious doctrine. I don't see the Bible telling people they should never eat meat because it is evil.



It is the way this world works... unfortunately.


so why is it "unfortunately" ...unless you also consider it as evil


It is unfortunate but necessary. (Just because I think it is unfortunate does not mean I think it is evil.) I believe that other worlds exist on higher density levels that do not require this type of energy exchange. Because this world is on such a dense level, it requires this type of energy exchange.


Perhaps the Gods are hard at work attempting to create a world where the lion will lie down with the lamb and humans will live off the energy of the sun and the wind.


I mean how hard does god has to work ...can't he supposely do that with a thought? and why would god create animals and people to eat each other to live ...couldn't that be considered as being evil


You can consider it "evil" if you so choose. But it is simply part of the manifestation process in the lower density worlds.

Contrary to what some people like to mock, using a "thought" to create or manifest something in a material world is a complicated process, ~~~ even for a creator God.

the gazelle also doesn't have a concept of life and death but yet it runs..and the lion doesn't have that concept but yet it kills the gazelle ...the lion kills the gazella clearly for selfish reasons and that selfish reason is called self preservation and that why all life is inherently evil because if offer no comprimise to the life it takes and feeds on ..which means it's only mission is to kill if it wants to live
