    Historically. Give reasons if you use other or if you just want to.

    I won't use George Bush if you don't use Obama

    It's not really strange that most of the choices are relatively recent as 1/4 of all the people who have ever lived are alive now.

    It was a girl.

    A young woman, actually.
    I was crazy about her.
    I very nearly threw away my entire life, my marriage, my daughter, everything, to be with her.
    The sun rose and set on her, in my mind.

    I ached for her when I wasn't with her.
    I ached when I was with her.
    The sex was beyond spiritual.
    I breathed her in, and she infected me with a kind of lilac-scented insanity.

    Eventually, the fog cleared.
    She began to show signs of subtle…. deceit.
    A selfish dishonesty.
    Eventually I saw her for what she was.
    A consumer.
    A destroyer.
    A vengeful, vicious, crazy harpy.

    I eventually came to realize that I had never loved her.
    I had never actually fallen in love with her.
    I had fallen in love with my illusion of her.
    My illusion of who I wanted her to be, and who I needed her to be, if my love were to be for real.
    And if love were even real.

    She was a user, and a conspicuous consumer of souls. Of properties, of monies, of jobs, of promotions, and of pleasure.

    She still lives, just in case you wish to be advised, and to be able to steer clear.
    Avoid Florida, and then entire southern east-coast.
    That's all I am saying.

    So you're going with Taylor Swift?:roll:

    (We always love illusions, love itself is an illusion. The sooner you come to accept that, the sooner you can begin to enjoy it.)

    In any case I meant historically, but I think you knew that.

    a. I don't know who Taylor Swift is.

    b. It's part of my history (from 30 years ago, anyway), and so it is historically significant.
    To myself and her, anyway.

    And to be fair, you included the poll selection choice of 'other', and so I went with the honest choice for me.
    She truly is the most evil person I have ever known in all of history.

    I'm derailing my own thread but it's a well-known fact that the Ancients regarded romantic love as a type of madness. It wasn't until the 12th century that it became accepted and even encouraged by Troubadour's tales.. I think that's one of the main things where the Ancients had one up on us.

    Now, who was your most evil leader type who killed lots of people?

    By that metric, then it is easily a tie between Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin.
    But it is important to note that neither of the two men would have ever achieved any sort of notoriety had it not been for the weakness and the complicity of hundreds and thousands of key players surrounding them at the time.

    Lambs led to slaughter don't require a shepherd.
    They only need a sufficiently slippery slope upon which to stumble toward the slaughter.

    The most evil person or persons would be the deciding vote or votes of the SCOTUS (Roe vs Wade) that has allowed over 65,000,000 lives to be taken!

    those souls are still born, just to another shell waiting for a soul to enter, even the Christian God would not be so evil as to say that was your one shot, sorry dude, game over

    but how about that guy that is alleged to have killed every living thing on the planet but a single boat load?

    No sir.
    That is my relatively modern 2012 Fender Telecaster.

    I love it dearly, and have played it at the past few gigs faithfully.

    Post a pic of your P-bass!

    Warren Buffet. Just plain evil. Moving all that environmental hazard through America. Risking Americans health. Risking Mother Earth. All for his greed. Yet trying to pretend like he cares just so progressive don't question his motives. There is no evil as the demon known as Warren Buffet.
    Also Monsanto and their paid for administration of Obama

    I was actually thinking about this yesterday, how apparently normal people can do unspeakable crimes against others...it's to easy to pick people like hitlar or stalin but they're no worse than any small time murderer, they just had greater opportunities

    Lilith whose spirit to this day snuffs the lives of newborns and inspires feminists.
    "Lilith - abi!" (Lilith be gone!)
    Lilith abi, evolved to the English word, lullaby - could be.

    Hitler and Stalin are gone, except for a few hanger ons.
    Lilith has a bigger following than Satan, count the Feminist vs Satanist or many other groups.
    Newborns still die unexpectedly and people still acquire charms to protect the baby.

    Lilith is the most Evil person that ever lived and her spirit is with us to this day.

    To me it would be Pol Pot. He may not have the highest body count but his evil was just chilling!

    I'd never really heard of Lilith. Thanks for the reference. Lilith is a mythological or religious figure, so she can't be the most evil person to ever live. (I should have been a lawyer.)

    So how to answer the question? Should the measure be quantitative (body count, for example) or qualitative (most cruel or malicious).

    I think Stalin had the highest body count (50-75 million, depending on who's counting) though Mao once told Khruschev that he'd killed at least 30 million Chinese, and that was well before he died himself. Highest rate of murders per population group? Maybe Pol Pot.

    Human beings know so much malice and cruelty that it's almost impossible to pick out the qualitative worst.

    Perhaps we could combine quantitative and qualitative measures to ask who had deliberately caused the most suffering, not necessarily death. I'd say the organizers of the Christian and Muslim religions. (I don't mean Jesus and Mohammed, but the guys who later wrote the rules and built the institutions - the Fathers of the Church) These two religions have caused incalculable suffering by their deliberate rejection of human nature. For thousands of years, people have suffered, died, killed, tortured, and endured emotional agonies that crippled their lives and those around them, all because the Fathers of the Christian and Muslim Churches made the perverse decision to reject all that was natural and instinctive about humanity and advocate inhuman and inhumane doctrines. To this day, multitudes equate morality with unhappiness. This is perhaps the greatest evil I know of.
