If you really want to know if the grim reaper is evil, then talk to someone who had an encounter with him/her. I did, and it wasn't pleasant either. Here's my encounter wit the grim reaper; The grim reaper appeared when I was asleep. The grim reaper was chanting. What it was chanting I don't know, But the grim reaper chanted and the I lost control of my body. My body sat up in bed and I threw a punch at a toolbox I kept on my dresser. When I regained control of my body, the grim reaper was gone. I'll never forget what it looked like. Don't pay attention to the cartoons because sometimes the grim reaper DOES have a body of it's own! He had a wrinkly old face, and his robes were as black as the darkest midnight. I even saw his eyes, the grim reaper STARED at me the whole time during my encounter with him. The bible says he is one of the four horsemen, on a pale horse, (although according to wikipedia, his horse was described as pale, maybe yellow greenish according to the Greek text). Anyone without proper knowledge of such an experience shouldn't throw in their two cents, (no offense intended). I say The grim reaper IS evil! Not neural, EVIL! If I'm wrong then please, YOU tell me what happened to me! I'll need to calm myself down after this but you get the point. If I offended anyone, then I'm sorry. Such an encounter is ANYTHING but nice.
