I suggest you read Jack Weatherford's book on GK. To quote Publishers Weekly: In just 25 years, in a manner that inspired the blitzkrieg, the Mongols conquered more lands and people than the Romans had in over 400 years. Without pausing for too many digressions, Weatherford's brisk description of the Mongol military campaign and its revolutionary aspects analyzes the rout of imperial China, a siege of Baghdad and the razing of numerous European castles. On a smaller scale, Weatherford also devotes much attention to dismantling our notions of Genghis Khan as a brute. By his telling, the great general was a secular but faithful Christian, a progressive free trader, a regretful failed parent and a loving if polygamous husband. With appreciative descriptions of the sometimes tender tyrant, this chronicle supplies just enough personal and world history to satisfy any reader.
Anybody who doesn't understand the role the Bible played in the development of Western culture and thought is beyond painfully stupid. Modern science is a product of Western religious thought.
Where are Dick Cheyney and George Bush? Spending thousands of lives and billions of dollars just so their oil buddies can profit counts as pretty dammed evil in my book.
Evil is a pretty "Relgious" word IMO, I have very little use for it at all. Is the Black Plague "Evil"? No, don't think so - its a product of Nature. I voted Mao, probably because of my age group and personal experience. My belief is that one "evil" act is the same as a million on the spirit. Its the horror of any of this that affects us. And some not.
Exactly, the rest of them imho are ordinary psychopaths in positions of power. Torquemada was not only psychopathic but he was convinced that torturing and burning people was a form of kindness - because it 'saved their souls' . That line of reasoning is more than just unchristian, it's Evil...
Think on this....Not one of these named completed many of these acts without the complicity and cooperation of large numbers of fellow evildoers...they were not lone serial killers....they were the more acceptable kind...rich,ruling or seeking to rule....
Way to take the "The Devil we don't know" quote out of context. He was using an old saying, "The devil you know versus the devil you don't". He's obviously not saying hes the devil. He is saying that the policied that McCain support are already known to be bad for our country, while his proposed policies have yet to be tested and judged as good or bad. Its so easy to misinterperet what people say so that they fit in with your view of that person.
I have always believed that evil is..............just like preposterous is.....that it is of itself.To harm another human being, that is to make them suffer is of itself evil
I believe that Genghis told his comrades: "Man's greatest good fortune is to chase and defeat his enemy, seize his total possessions, leave his married women weeping and wailing, ride his gelding, use his women as a nightshirt and support, gazing upon and kissing their rosy breasts, sucking their lips which are as sweet as the berries of their breasts."
I once read that Genghis Khan's murder, rape, and pillage were terrible, but that the real measure of his brutality was in burning fields of crops, buildings, and supplies. Starvation, disease, and homelessness multiplied his impressive campaign of death into the hundreds-of-millions. A recent study suggested that roughly 8% of all chinese men carry the same Y chromosome -- believed to be Genghis Khan's. Now that's a lot of rape!
Vlad promoted disemboweling and rectal and facial impalement. Didn’t he also impale virtually all the people in the city of Amlas – many, many thousands of men, women and children? He also ordered people to be skinned, boiled, buried alive…
I believe Mao Tse-tung killed somewhere between 20 and 67 million of his countrymen, including the elderly and intellectuals. The resulting anarchy, terror, and paralysis completely disrupted the urban economy. Industrial production for 1968 dipped 12 percent below that of 1966.
I know you are being serious, and you think you are clever, but you are really just a short-sighted dumbass.
Aaawwwww, how disappointed you must have been to discover them absent from the list. You are completely delusional.
I think Stellabloo is hot!

The choices are kind of weak. Where for example is Reinhard Heydrich?
The most evil has yet to come,we just dont know about him/her/it YET....

Tomas de Torquemada, because he was cruel in the name of God, which in my book makes it even more devilish.
