Others may reject the notion entirely and say no things or actions are good or evil, it is only the conscious observer who assigns the word "evil" to them.
I am curious as to what your views on "evil" are and why you hold them.

I prefer to 'skate around' that word. I don't acknowledge it and I do not give power to claiming something as being evil.
Evil is analogous to that of demons as far as I am concerned: If you believe in them,; they exist. Conversely if you don't believe in them, they don't bother you. Evil might be a thought form we energize and in some cases actually created. That just my opinion....
