Was Osama Bin Laden Evil? This is the question Joy Behar presented to a priest, an imam and a rabbi. See what they have to say in this short video:
- He was not born evil?
- He was not evil, only his actions?
- He was only evil if his intentions were bad?
- Really?
- Were these the greatest “theologians” they could find for the show?
Although I disagree with the Rabbi’s opinion that Osama was not born evil, in the beginning of the video he at least got one thing right in the end of the video when he stood up against moral relativism declaring that intentions do not matter, even if we disagree in our religious ideals and theologies, we all still have the 10 Commandments which give a universal moral code. I don’t believe morality will save you or give you right standing with God, but the commandments do give all mankind a code in which we can apply in our interaction with each other and with God.
What about Isaiah 64:4? We are all infected and impure with sin. When we display our righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall, and our sins sweep us away like the wind.
Or
Romans 3:23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.
So…what’s your thoughts? Was Osama Bin Laden evil?
Option B says
Of course he was born evil we cannot escape sin
