Are only humans evil or is nature evil?
It is a common Christian lore that humans are inherently evil, which then leads to claims that we can only be protected from our evil natures by being Christian. However, humans are not inherently evil, and those individuals who do evil things are just as likely to be Christian as not.Nature is neutral between good and evil. However, animals other than humans can be evil. For example, a savage dog can attack and kill, not for food or protection but simply because that dog wants to do so.

Is the Holocaust an example of evil?
An example of moral evil is something evil that is caused by someone (or a group of people). Examples include murder, rape, suicide bombings (9/11) or gun and knife crime. People include Stalin, Hitler, the kidnapper behind Madeline McCann, the two boys who tortured another two and the 13-year-old rapist who was in the paper today. Many philosophers have commented on this. They call it the 'Logical Problem of Evil' or the 'Inconsistent Triad'. This is: 1)God is omnipotent (all powerful) 2)God is omnibenevolent (all good) 3)Evil exists. Obviously, one of these doesn't belong, and we tend to think it is Evil - therefore the Triad is inconsistant. Epicurus argued 'Either God is not all-powerful and he does care, or he does care but he's not all-powerful, or he doesn't exist.' Irenaus argued Evil is telelogical (it has a purpose), that is to make us learn form our mistakes. He thought that 'When Evil occurs, it is our fault, not God's." However, some philosophers believe that some mistakes are too high a price to pay just so we can "learn from our mistakes". Anyway, hope that helped answer your question!!
