Question

Why is it that evil has increased on earth even though there are many churches in the world today ?

Answer 1

Ah haaa!  You assume that going to church (mosque, temple) will make people better and more moral.  Doesn't work that way.  The "evil" is still inside them.

Answer 2

evil has increased on earth because the population has increased. . . .people come in 2 types, good or bad. . .as there are more good, we need more churches....as there are more bad, the evil becomes more apparent.

Answer 3

WHO CARESES

Answer 4

Evil has actually decreased with time. Look at the days of the Roman Empire or when Europe was a bunch of city-states in the medievel times or when China was ruled by an emperor (ok, it still is). But democracy is spreading.  That was a trend of the 20th century.  The 21st century had a bad start but hopefully things would trend the other way again.

Answer 5

HMMM...more evil AND more churches?  evil=churches...

Answer 6

I think you answered your own question.

Just kidding.

I don't think evil has increased, it just seems that way because we have access to so much information.

Answer 7

how could you even calculate the amount of evil in the world without using a religion to tell you right from wrong? Your question has no real answer because you fail to have a control. that is, you don't have anything that you can set as a standard without compromising an unbiased position.

Answer 8

Religion has always been at the heart of evil. This isn't even debateable but religious people try to argue it.

Answer 9

because people need to take responsibility for their own actions and not hid behind the church.  Most people who commit crimes claim to be religious therefore the more churchs the more evil.  Free your mind, you don't need some book to tell you right from wrong.
