It is you who are depicting "evil" as conditional upon the degree of "mistakenness" of the person.

"No. I am saying whether or not I would call a person evil depends on their character, their actions, and their motivations for those actions."

No, Tim. You said that whether you would call a person "evil" depends on if they were "mistaken"--which (of course) is a consequence of secular limitation, intelligence, etc.

Still, you arrogate to yourself the right to interpret (absolutely) the morality of others. Most people who preach relativism do not embrace absolutism at the same time...
