What is Evil? And does evil exist?

[StreetHazard]

One does not need to go into the Bible to see what it says about good and evil. Human life is a beautiful thing, the birth of a baby is a beautiful thing, so then, would it be evil or right ( without using your morals ) to go after a newborn child is brought into the world, to go and snatch that child and kill it? The answer is quite simply yes. One does not need to read any book or the Word of God to see this. Evil does exist without good. Evil could simply be defined as any selfish act without concern for the effects it may have on others or the consequenes. Good on the other hand can be defined as any selfless act of charity ( love ) without the expectation of reward. Therefore evil does not need good nor does good need evil for either of these to be present.

I ask you this, if not God, then who or what or how do we as a society know what is good or evil, right or wrong, selfish or selfless? If not because of God, why are we not a selfish society that puts ourselves and our needs first? Where did good and evil come from then if not from God and sin?

"WELL IN THE BIBLE IT SAYS..........."

You hush and go back to church. "GOD" does not invent these definitions...MAN does, exactly like how man invented your god, gods or goddesses to help (or force) structure his/her societal ideals.

I can give you an example where "baby killing" was never frowned upon but was actually encouraged for societal growth, unity and strength, and to the apparent benefit of the nation for many generations. If they considered it "puny and deformed", the baby was thrown into a chasm on Mount Taygetos also known as the Apothetae or the "Deposits".

"THIS IS SPAAAAAARRRRTA"

Also it seems homosexual pedophilia was a main stay in the Spartan societal structure as well. At the age of twelve, the Spartan state obliged Spartan boys to take an older male mentor, usually an unmarried young man. The older man was expected to function as a kind of substitute father and role model to his junior partner, and teach him the duties of being a spartan man and school him in warfare. However, it is also reasonably certain that they had sexual relations due to "Greek pederasty" being almost cultural in that era.

^ this relationship echoes many in the christian priesthoods still going on today.

The term pederasty derives from the combination of pais (Greek for 'boy') with erastēs (Greek for 'lover'; or eros). Pederasty is closely associated with the customs of athletic and artistic nudity in the gymnasia, delayed marriage for upper-class men (gentlemen), symposia and social seclusion of women. It was also integral to Greek military training, and at times a factor in the deployment of troops.
