Your "good and evil" word game is inane, and not worth any more time after this. Suffice it to say that I would not want anyone incapable of telling the difference, or pretending he is, within five miles of me or my loved ones.
If someone came in and slit the throat of one of your kids in front of you, you may be semantically incapable of defining him as "evil"--after all, it's silly to say you simply know it when you see it, right? But I doubt you would define him as "good" either, which implies that there is at least some rudimentary element of a borderline floating around somewhere inside your head.
The Taliban were evil.
The men piloting planes into buildings were evil.
Hitler, and most of his leadership, was evil.
Pol Pot was evil.
Saddam Hussein is evil.
Any arguments from anyone?
I repeat, someone trying to sell you on the idea that "good" and "evil" are not valid concepts, does not have your best interests in mind. Bowser is not one of these--he's just pulling our chain because he can. But there are such people, and a lot of them.
It is highly instructive that merely bringing up the word "evil" in a conversation among the liberal elite in our country can get you at best a condescending look for your mental simplicity, and at worst a dressing-down for your outmoded morality.
