In other words, you believe that what constitutes as evil to you might be good to another?
Permit me to give an extreme example. The nazi soldiers who performed the horrific acts during the holocaust were having a blast doing them because they believed that they were doing good by ridding the world of the undesirables. In other words, the undesirables were threatening the nazi doctrine of the superiority of the aryan race.
Evil is that which threatens what I cherish. I cherish blond hair, blue eyes, and the purity of the aryan race. By some bastardize reason, Jews, Gypsies, Slaviks, Homosexuals, etc. are threatening what I cherish. Therefore, it is good to get rid of them.
On the other hand, if I am a Jew, what I cherish is my culture and family. Therefore, the acts of the nazis to me are evil.
In other words, the term evil, in this case, is completely subjective. Isn't it sort of pointless, then, to impose one's view of evil over another?
