Ah, you love to pose questions and then try to force a reply, don't you, c2 Just as you love to retreat into definitional obscurantism whenever you find yourself defending the indefensible. You're not fooling anybody with this righteous indignation, John. As for inherent evil, my epistemology doesn't get me there. But there are certainly things such as mass murders that are about as bad as one can imagine; the Holocaust is about as bad as one can imagine; Stalin's purges, slaughter of the peasants, etc.; the list keeps going on. Isn't using the words "as bad as one can imagine" instead of "inherent evil" just dodging the question? If you can't use "evil", on what basis can you use "bad"? btw, how does blowing up schoolkids on a bus rank on your scale?
