Re: What is evil?
During the Inquisition, heretics were often killed and that was good. Ask any of the inquisitors.

"With the same, in fact with even greater indifference do I regard torturing you than I do bending this reed out of my path with my stick, for by doing so I earn nothing. But when I have you tortured, and by the severe means afforded by the law I bring you to confession, then I perform a work pleasing in God's sight; and it profiteth me."
​
- Heinrich von Schultheis
