Just as the Arab proverb states, "all sun makes a desert" (which isn't "evil" but will kill you just the same; but who thought "sun" was bad?) I think all words are helpful in some way or another, at least to whoever is using them? But just because a word exists doesn't mean I have to use it or agree with how you do. However, I will defend your right to use it! Trying to abolish other people's concepts because one doesn't agree with them, doesn't see/understand them the same way ain't the way to go at it?

So true. In actuality, while this discussion is quite considered the norm for many people, it is part of it's own world view, that of disbelief, or rather secularism. http://forums.psychcentral.com/showt...09#post1902609 This means that those of faith will not be able to support such a concept of no evil.
