Summary/Abstract: Using Marc 7,21-23 as a starting point, the article investigates the roots of evil from a psychological point of view. According to Jung and Freud, contents of the psyche that are not acceptable for the self become repressed into the subconscious and, as a result, they grow apart from us. Since these contents live as strangers inside of us, we tend to project them onto the others. On a sociological level, the most devastating consequences of this inner process are war, racial discrimination, xenophobia, anti-Semitism, and oppression of minorities.
