I don't believe in God so, the word 'Evil' is redundant. I just really hate the way Christianity encourages people to consider life as being inferior to the afterlife. Guess that's why Nietzsche calls Christians "Despisers of life"... "I beg of you my brothers, remain true to the earth, and...

no, really!!
