Evil is not just a word that "carries so much extraneous baggage. You are avoiding the issue and arguing in a circle.
Relativism collapses under it's own weight. If as you now say evil is strictly in the eye of the beholder, then why are you continually feigning outrage at what other cultures have done in their own contexts? You are only a relativist when it suits your need. When it comes to you and your actions there is no standard but yourself, but when it comes to others you judgmentally and narrow-mindfully hold every other human who has ever lived, and even God Himself to a transcendent standard that you claim does not exist. Hmmmm? I would say your protestations demonstrate your true belief.

<<<When Atheists get into power (usually by force) they immediately see the reasonableness of maintaining that power by killing anyone who disagrees with them>>>

"That would be following some other dogmatic agenda. Atheism has no agenda. You are probably thinking of Communism or some other "izm"."

No; those would be practical examples of how ideas have consequences and how Atheists act when given free reign.
