What makes Us Evil???

i sometimes wonder if i am an evil person.I wonder if where i stand on my beliefs and thoughts, do they make me evil? How can we tell if one of us is not on the right path? Or if they can be judged to be worse than us???yea religion tells us somethings are wrong plain right and there still is so much gray area that so many scholars don't even speak about.So how can we judge our own selves? Of course murder rape and theft can be defined as the evil characters...but what about the reasons? Do we ignore to ask why the people do the things they did? Do we blame them for their actions though we do not understand their reasons or hear out their justifications? Sometimes i think if what we consider to be moral if it really is...I do not doubt God at all or not believe in his holy book...but i definitely do not TRUST the so called scholars who seem to consider themselves only worthy to explain GODs will to the people.how are we to know the truth? Do we all have to revel in reading gaining knowledge and learning the truth ourselves? Back to the point...social well being is supposedly guaranteed by democracy adn religion and our own guidelines...but i guess we have to keep questioning and looking back and progressing or else we end up for example with Windows NT and Doom 3D latest version...now it would never run on the old system!!!

You are right. We don't need priests and scholars to interpret for us because the Quran was sent in simple language so that everyone can understand. Because, in earlier history, scholars and priests had distorted holy scriptures and the Quran was sent this time so that history like that will never have to repeat again.

In fact, I came across such a verse in the Quran (which was also quoted on Maldives Dissent blog). So if anybody claims that they have the education to interpret the Quran for us, and that we have to totally depend on their interpretation, we are in a position to ignore them.
