You don't seem to want to read anything I post On the contrary. I read and respond to your posts. You're a better person for it, BTW. "Thre evil does not depend on my opinion. There evil is inside of them and I might have an opinion about it. Obviously whether or not I would call someone evil depends on my opinion, but my opinion can be wrong." If your opinion can be wrong, then where do you get the surety of your dogmatism?? Nobody on this planet has ever put forth plausible evidence for God (which is required for "Absolutism"--the unqualified and the perfect which we have been discussing). Nor is there any evidence in the secular world. It seems that all you want is a paddle; you have the creek.

The evil doesn't "exist" unless you call it evil. Of course it depends on your opinion, since your opinion determines what you are going to call "evil". There are people who think the WTC tragedy was great, good and holy. There are people who are sure God was right there in the cockpit helping to make it happen. It is of course, only "their" opinion that the WTC tragedy was not evil. They would think you are evil. I don't think you understand relativism. There is NO evil, except what people choose to call evil. And what people choose to call evil depends on their opinions of what is evil. And opinions differ.
