    Can it even be defined without a prior bias?

    Chalam, that scripture didn't define evil.

    RR - Jehovah hates republicans.

    Anyone who does what is good is from God.

    Conversely, anyone who does what is evil is not from God.

    Evil is everything that isn't from God.

    According to my ex-wife the answer is ME!!!

    I, evidently, have demons flying through my head. That is the source of my evilness.

    Chalam, I'm not sure you get it. I'm sorry if this sounds insulting but it's really hard for me to believe you're even being serious with that.

    Proverbs 6: 16-19:

    "Here are 6 things that God hates, and one more that he loathes with a passion:

    eyes that are arrogant,

    a tongue that lies,

    hands that murder the innocent,

    a heart that hatches evil plots,

    feet that race down a wicked track,

    a mouth that lies under oath,

    a troublemaker in the family."

    Ok, can anyone define it without embedding in it a lot of other questionable tripe - like scripture?

    Hello GB,

    No I am being serious.

    "Evil is everything that isn't from God."

    God is good, only good. Everything that is good He made and gives Genesis 1:21 1 Timothy 4:4 James 1:17

    Hope that helps?

    All the best,

    Stephen

    P.S. Before a smart Alec delivers me theological hot potato I will bake one myself Judges 9:23

    No, I don't have all the answers but I have faith that God is good (although just).
