I'm doing Moral and natural evil in school and moral evil is an evil that is caused by man e.g murders, racist attacks, terrorist attacks etc. Natural evil is either caused by nature or animals e.g floods or animals eating/damaging humans/property.

WCI Peer Review

There's not much of a lead. The writing is strong and remains neutral whilst giving information on moral evil. It is pretty balanced because it doesn't just focus on one aspect of morals, war is mentioned as well as murder etc. The sources seem credible, bbc news and a journal. The bbc article offers adequate information that's straight to the point, a well job of citing it without focusing too much on the religious aspect was done.

Spanish Influenza - Holocaust comparison

"The Holocaust is seen as morally worse than the Spanish Influenza epidemic although …"

How would a natural epidemic be morally wrong on any level? Who would be the immoral party? Nature? The Holocaust actually had human perpetrators who defied the moral expectations of humans. The Spanish Flu epidemic was perpetrated by germs. Are people holding germs to moral standards now? There has to be a better comparison here. 199.120.30.200 (talk) 15:32, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I read the rest of the article in context. Ignore the above comments. 199.120.30.200 (talk) 15:37, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
