is there a difference between bad and evil?
this is a question that my friend who is a philosophy instructor asked me. After thinking about it, I decided that there is. My response was earthquakes are bad; murder is evil. Basically, anything that we consider negative that is not in our control is bad, and anything that was purposely done by humans was evil. It made sense to me.
What are your thoughts?
