What is Evil? is there such thing? is there even a good or a bad, a light and a dark. Does evil describe, or does evil exist? What can be classified as evil? Is evil truly wrong other than the fact that it hurts others? is evil a mindset, or a noun? is it even there? describe evil, talk about it.
Evil is the capacity to do things with no thought of others, to consider ones life as disposable as household trash. But if "evil" is all a person has known who is it to say that they are abnormal, in the evil persons mind its perfectly acceptable (that is only if they were born that way, and not a decent person turned evil).
after reading ALL of your comments, it seems to me that there is no evil, evil is a word used to describe things people find wrong, that go against the normalicy of the human life.

Evil is something that is in opposition to a person's ideas of good. There is no 'evil' that exists as an entity or as a specific thing, or even as a specific idea.

Yea this basically says all I have to say about evil as of right now.
Outside of any theistic explanations of what we term to be 'evil' there really is no such thing. Evil is a term we have come to use to describe things which we find morally reprehensible. However morals are not interchangeable from one person to the other. We each have our own unique interpretation of what is morally correct (good) and morally incorrect (evil).
While many people may agree on some things, we still have our own morals. Many of the things that people consider evil are not considered so by the people committing the acts. Serial killers, terrorists, mass murderers, rapists, these people do not find their actions to be evil. This is because they have a different set of morals. It is nothing more than a matter of interpretation based on your moral principles.
This, just like a multitude of topics on Armor Games, is completely relative and based on opinion. However the social world revolves around the "norm", and the moral "norm" these days may be declining, however based on the "norm" evil would be just what you would think; murder, rape, theft, etc.
I agree evil is the view of actions/object/people that are deemed wrong and negatively affecting said society. Evil doesn't really have to mean evil because it's based on your views.
