"It's easy to see how evil takes place when you question that there is no good or evil just different points of interpretation."

The vast majority of people are not capable of discerning good and evil on their own. Which is why society/religion/culture dictates morals.

Those who fought the Crusades thought they were fighting on the side of good and against evil. They were backed by religion and all their moral beliefs too. Americans have had their share of evils as well, just look at slavery.

It is easy to say you wouldn't eat another person cause it is immoral. Yet I think that in the face of starvation, many would-be moral people are likely to cave. It all depends on the will and character of the individual.
