Well pachyderm, yes that would be nice. The word evil is not about a label, but it has been misused that way. And perhaps it is also misunderstood in those hero fights evil stories that lend to the feelings of the destruction of evil as a way of being justified or superior. Evil is one of those catch words that is often misused and that has caused the word to be misunderstood. So what we are trying to do by claiming it doesn't exist is to stop how it is misused or misunderstood. But then we would be doing a lot of book burning now wouldn't we and what about all those movies and plays and series and the list is endless. And somehow those stories and movies give us hope that what you want can happen, that the distortion of humans will end and the acts committed that are so harmful to societies world wide would end.

We will never get there if we deny the existance of that word that has a real meaning to it. If only we saw Hitler coming, or Stallin or Osama bin Ladden or Sadaam Hussen or so many others that can be described as evil by the true definition of the word. Yes, obviously there must have been some mental issue, some explanation for these powers that commit acts of evil by the true definition of the word.

First we have to understand that it does exist and then we have to understand why and how we can change it. It is not a mythical charector, but we do learn that as children, we have to acknowedge that there are bad people that do bad things in the world. That question that haunts us is not the word evil, but WHY.

I am not one to want to use evil as a catch word. But as a real word, it does exist.
