My views on evi: Evil does exist. Is it a conceptual existant that exists outside of human choices and actions? No. Evil exists as a result of said choices and actions. Evil is simply an adjective. You assign that adjective to a person who does an evil act, and you assign the adjective to the act itself. What is it that makes a person/action evil? What is the standard of evil? A better question I think is what is the standard of good? What is the good? In my humble opinion, the good is human life and all that encourages and supports the proper application of human life. The evil is that which hinders and undermines human life.
