Interesting. I have known many atheists and they have all acknowledged evil. Perhaps not as a religious concept, but certainly as man’s capacity to destroy. What synonym do you use to describe people or actions that others would call “evil”?
I used at least one in my post, nefarious, ill-intent, etc., all depending on the circumstance. Some likely would call Nancy Pelosi evil, but I think of her more like a mother, Satan’s mother, if he had one. 
Neither do I believe in Satan, as that, too, is a religious construct. I tried to PM you as this is off-topic, but you have that function turned-off.

Ah, I see. I would use “nefarious” and “evil” interchangeably. Their entymology is different (‘nefarious’ is rooted in French/Latin, ‘evil’ is rooted in old English/German), but they have the same basic meaning. So perhaps you would take less offense if I re-wrote my earlier sentence?

Many years ago I took a university sociology course taught by a Los Angeles County detective who was also the lead investigator on the Tate-LaBianca (read Charles Manson) murder case. He stated that “if you are hungry enough you will do whatever it takes to get food.” I believe this is true. Unfortunately some people have a much, much lower trigger threshold.

I can verify that. When I was younger, I went weeks without food, and I was willing to do some pretty awful things in order to eat. Not to the level of hurting other people, but definitely to the point of dumpster diving. I don’t know how people cross that line where they want to hurt people or animals, and I really don’t know how you bring someone back from that.

I was not offended, but neither do I have any ill-intent/ill-will, nor nefariousness, so I would still disagree. Yes, evil is a synonym of nefarious, but both words have many synonyms, usage makes the difference. Such as, a criminal would not necessarily be evil, but could still be nefarious.
The Saxons were evil. The Normans were nefarious.
And if you’re General Howe, the Americans are revolting.

The hunger games started already on our babies, all I can say is they should have picked on someone their own size!
I guess if you really want to hurt someone you murder the children first. If this isn’t a hostage situation I don’t know what is! I’m just waiting for the Stockholm Syndrome to kick in! The question is, do we pay the ransom?

just an opinion… where did they grow up?
if they grew up here in the U.S. the culture makes a difference…
this nation was founded on Christian principals… NOT saying it’s a Christian nation BTW…
AND…
it’s pretty difficult to NOT absorb the culture around you as you live through it…
many it seems do not understand… they say they don’t need God as they are moral… yadda yadda…
so they speak of morals n such never realizing these come from the culture in which you live…
Christian based morals… although seems there are some that want to change that…

The Commandment is Thou shalt not murder. Kill was a deliberate false translation. Self defense is not murder. Neither is defending someone else from a murderer.

You succinctly stated it is the culture, but also your family, that you are born into, that morals are taught and shown, not God nor religion. Though, where, then, do criminals get their morals? God? What about the Devil, the religious believe in? Where did he get his morals? Seems that had to have come from within… or did God teach him that?
@OldDude49 it’s a waste of time. They like to argue about words and syllables. Their eyes are closed and their ears are closed.

It’s called being gullible. They want to hope in something so much until they don’t fact check it for themselves. That takes a little work and research which they’re too lazy to do. That is basically the human condition.

It will be interesting to find out what kind of sentence he will receive, considering he was gender confused, and going through the trauma of being born the wrong gender. Also the fear of climate change, and Trumps rhetoric, his actions could be justified.
