Your observations are useful, Jeffrey; thank you. I hesitate, however, to assume that everyone shares your definition; so I believe it is still necessary for anyone using the word "evil" to say what is meant. One could could worry like that about any word, and we should quickly run out of time... But defining something as "evil" is usually a prelude to something else or to justifying that something else; and so it is worth taking a little time to understand vague and ambiguous language If | Evil is to will someone else harm then evil may be as widespread as the vatican and other believers in satan suspect. I often find myself willing others harm. It doesn't last long, but I feel it. If evil is to wish others harm, then all those engaged in the military destruction of the taliban are evil L
