Quizzes like this kinda piss me off...

I mean, what does experience have to do with evil? Especially with anything involving sex, drugs, or any other forms of pleasure, how does hedonism equate with evil? Seems to me that evil is more what one does to others, carelessly hurting other people, that's the nature of evil. And sure, quizzes like this are frivolous at best, so I shouldn't read too much into it. Then again, maybe it's the mood I'm in now.

I am 37% evil.




I could go either way. I have sinned quite a bit but I still have a bit of room for error. My life is a tug of war between good and evil.

you weren't raised catholic, were you? (i didn't think you were, but i can't remember) but yeah, according to catholics, hedonism = evil. sex = evil. drugs = evil. pleasure = evil.

catholics are so weird.

Agreement

Heffie, I agree with you completely. There is the general stupid christian moronic view of evil, ie anything that is pleasurable or a life experience growing up but some idiot thinks it 'wrong' is evil. Then there is our knowledge of what really is evil, that of hurting others and someone doing things that hurt other for for their own gain or pleasure or even lack of concern.

I doubt very much that either you or I really rank much as evil. We are probalby both far, far more knights.

Besides that quiz was probably made by folks that think it's 'cool' to be considered evil.

We need a "how Good are you really?' test.

That seems to be the general view of Christian's view of evil. Mostly, though, hedonism is viewed as evil when it is pleasure pursued at the expense of doing things that will lead to greater pleasure down the road (and I don't mean heaven), or prevent great suffering down the road. For instance, spending large amounts of money on "fun" things today instead of saving up, and then not having enough to support oneself later in life, and thus becoming a burden on the next generation.

Christians have a great deal of fun; trust me on that one. They have no end of singing and dancing and eating and drinking and joking around. The good ones, though, are keeping an eye toward getting the work done. (As for the morons - well, there's morons all over the place, and they're hardly worth talking about for these purposes.)
