Because doing evil is evil, and requires an evil person, no matter how they are.

Every individual is capable of good and evil, it doesn't require a specific person for it. In fact believing it does (and therefore usually believing it isn't you or your social group, but others) is a shortcut to inadvertently do evil shit without noticing any of it.

"You don't have to be evil to kill someone. You just have to think you are right." - Yoko Taro

Yes agree. But that makes a person not universally good. One could say evil.

So "god" being all good would not be able to do this because it is a human response to a human misdeed.

So every human is evil? Nah, that's equally nonsense. It's the misanthropic nonsense you hear from churches of course.

Lol.

within good is the capacity for evil. within evil is the capacity for good. we have both within us. we are at peace when they are balanced.

that's literally what this means
