The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)

There is a tragedy that infects everything that happens on earth: a common event happens to everyone. In fact, the hearts of human beings are full of evil. Madness remains in their hearts while they live, and afterwards they join the dead. (Ecclesiastes 9:3)

Sure sounds to me like the fallen, carnal heart of man is certainly capable of great evil. We've seen the evidence in our own lifetimes - recently, even. Could it be a "pure" evil? Maybe.
