Hello.
My question is, were the 'evil' ones 'evil' before they met their first human who was told a lie about them, or was just fearful of something new?

Hello.
There is a saying that enrages many religious people that might be on point: "Good people do good. Bad people do bad. But to make a person truly evil - religion must be involved."
Let's not make this a flame war if possible; I'm not saying that all religion is bad... and I'm not pointing at any religion in particular. And this post need not even discuss religion. This post is about the possible theory of corrupting once neutral and friendly spirits.

Every time when YOU are the one to include and associate religion in your post and then you say its not about religion .
Thus it is corrupting your thread said to be on[religion] "corrupting friendly spirits". You bring the concept of religion into your own threads .
Oh the irony.
So in saying what you are saying,that you say enrages many religious people , are you trying to "enrage many religious" people?

"Evil" is when somebody or something does something that you think is bad because it affects you negatively in some way.

I hear you and I know it's ironic. I want to be kind to one and all sides. But that is easier said than done.
Back when I was part of an organized religion, I'd have been so grateful to have someone 'post' like this. Others from back then might have killed someone asking questions (we were all rednecks) like this.
I'd almost be better off picking a side; but the people I'd be excluding always get excluded during especially open minded conversation and I don't want to abandon them; they are part of the human family too.
It's basically impossible to discuss things like this without getting people upset.
But it's very worth discussing.
My question is, were the 'evil' ones 'evil' before they met their first human who was told a lie about them, or was just fearful of something new?
Maybe its time for some people to outgrow their (negative) historic experiences of "organized redneck religion "and feelings of being excluded/abandoned .

For the sake of discussion, let's assume that demons, devils, angels, faeries, spirits and all the rest actually exist.

Perhaps humans corrupted innocent nature spirits with their fear, hate and ignorance - thus turning them into the awful creatures they expected them to be?
And a spirit corrupted thousands of years ago, and now comfortable with it's human-created role might now in fact, be truly 'evil' because generation after generation of humans have added fuel to the fire?

If you want to be kind, be kind .(Don't make up sides and call people "others")
And if you know it upsets them to have you blame "religion" for evil then why do you wish to upset people?

It's possible to turn a personal injury into something positive.. I did that for years.
It's probably the only reason I survived the first 30 years of my life.
It is valid to point out however, that any tool can be used in excess.
Thanks!

Tulpa 'creation', when practised on a global and generational scale (knowingly or unknowingly) is a facet of 'reality' that is little understood. It would be natural to assume evil...if you thought you weren't creating it and willing to take responsibility...

I'm saying that any world-class metaphysical being from myth
and religion is in FACT a 'Tulpa'.
That's just flat out what I'm saying and that's my experience.
"We have met the enemy and he is us"

Of course people who don't believe in said enemy
(such as scientists and people of other religions)
might well be completely immune and cluck wisely
at the foolishness of the person of the associated
culture or following.
