Why are people wicked?

Good question. It entails a few things:

Selfishness. Believe it or not, a lot of human wickedness is rooted in selfishness and the ego. Wickedness is often done out of people's own self-centered desires, aspirations, motives, etc. Even the person who goes ripping down the freeway and weaving around everybody dangerously is being wicked because they only care about themselves, where they're trying to get to, or just wanting to race and show off. They have no care or regard for anyone else or their safety on the road.

Love for evil. Many people are also wicked because they simply love what is the opposite of what's good, especially in today's world that glorifies villainy and bad behavior. There literally are people who like what's dark and evil and want to be one with it.

Rid yourself of the ego and you shall see God.
This is a concept that I am thinking about. Though I am uncertain about the existence of God and supernatural beings, and I definitely do not put the concept into practice.
I am swayed by the belief in a sort of spiritual warfare, but I am not nearly educated to the extent of even talking about the subject, much less uphold a ground opinion about it.
Generally, I agree with you, but it goes way deeper then that..

Yes, once you delete the ego you gain some spiritual enlightenment. It's okay if you're uncertain about God right now, but the more you seek to find out, you will definitely find it.

There is indeed spiritual warfare, and wickedness has roots in egotism because of this: Satan became Satan because his spiritual heart turned evil and wanted to be God or be more than God. As a high angel (when he was Lucifer) who already had much favor from God, why would you need to be bigger or better? This is egotism. And selfishness. An aspiration for your own goals, deeds, etc. Selfishness means you have literally no care or concern for anyone or anything but your own self, and you will go just about any lengths to satisfy the Self even if it means others suffer.

Thus wickedness.

Because they can be. Unfortunately when it comes to humans, I think that anything that can be done, will be done. Sometimes that brings out the best, sometimes it brings out the worst.

[Andridaca]

Perhaps before the beginning, there was nothing, but the nothingness can be filled, so it was.
Perhaps the realm of possibility is male, and all else female. Therefore, nothing may exist without possibility.
And yet, is possibility merely a concept?
Lol I have some thinking to do.
Goddamnit

They aren't.

It's their deeds that are.

[Andridaca]

Interesting. Then what drives one to perform evil deeds?

[call_me_scar]

Everyone has got a reason just know some people are bad , a lot are stupid and everyone has something that are good at and bad at

[Andridaca]

I appreciate your input, but that didn't particularly answer my question. Are you saying some are good at being bad and some at being good, and that it is just that simple?

[call_me_scar]

The answer to your question is some people are ass holes they may have their own reasons regardless if their reasoning is good, the part about everyone being good at something just means everyone can be useful in some way
