Publisher's summary

The use of the term "evil" has become controversial. Many are reluctant to apply it at all - even to Adolph Hitler (psychological adjustment problems, you see). And while it is true that the word has been recurrently misused, if we abandon the idea that it is possible to commit a knowingly evil act, we must abandon our belief in free will. Consider the case of "Psycho-Cabbie"....

Smart Conclusions on the Existence of Evil

I was cautious about listening to this short audio about the existence of evil, but was surprisingly encouraged about the author's look into the subject and ultimate conclusions. The modern psychologists who poo poo the existence of evil and attribute acts of murder and such as merely a result of one's upbringing or brain abnormalities, are sadly lacking in higher intelligence, in my opinion. The mixture of science and man's free will in this audio is a well researched and thought out conclusion, which has been played out in history, since the Garden of Eden, when Cain murdered Abel. I would encourage any open minded individual to listen to this short book to weigh out their own opinion on the subject.

Evil is a religious term therefore superstition

I disliked the use of an outdated, illogical, unscientific,14th century idea of evil. Nothing here fro rational thinkers
