Zone1 Etymology of the word "evil"

[rupol2000]

I think it went like this:

a-will, where "a" is the negation.

will - bull, heavenly god of Babylon - the gate to heaven - Bel.

Denial of the heavenly bull = evil

[Gracie]

Bullshit.

 

[Mac1958]

Today it means "someone I don't like".

 

[Devils_Advocate]

Today it means "someone I don't like".

I have never called you evil or anyone I dislike evil because the word is reserved for those that commit evil acts against humanity or their neighbor and not just because I dislike them.

Evil is not extant. It doesn't exist. It's the negation of good.
