If a lion killing a zebra colt to feed her young cubs is evil, then so is an abattoir systematically slaughtering and butchering hundreds of lambs a day to supply remote consumers who can avoid thinking about the processes involved in bringing meat to their dinner table without having to deal with blood on their hands or hearing the final squeals of doomed animals. Nasty, possibly evil, from the viewpoint of the lambs, but it doesn’t make us ‘Evil’. Collectively we make nasty things happen despite however we view our best intentions.
No, I am not a militant vegetarian. I like my T-bone, medium rare, mushroom sauce, thanks.
There is ‘evil’, nasty things that happen, and there’s ‘Evil’, some sort of personified supernatural force purposely making shit happen. Some of the religious like to mix the two meanings to fit their own agenda, like they do with ‘belief’/‘Belief’, ‘faith’/‘Faith’ etc
