'Evil', like 'good' is subjective. The rule of thumb is basically that we take what is beneficial to humans, society, our species in general and call that 'good' and we take what is harmful to us and we call it 'bad' or immoral. But such labels apply only to us. There is no objective morality, and the fact that we argue whether genital mutilation or raping women is good or bad only proves that. As far as I'm concerned, the only morality I conform to is my own and that of my society, and it evolves and changes over time. Hence why the good book isn't that 'good' at all.
It's also interesting how some people will say that there is only "evil" within human species when their is just much behavior that people call "evil" in other parts of the animal world, yet human beings are the only ones who are "sinners".
