Sorry, but where the fuck do you get off, strawmanning like that? Personally I think people are fully capable of perpetrating acts which we might label as evil. It's the notion of evil as a force independent of human behaviour, that's where I draw the line. It's probably safe to say that a lot of us would tend to agree on that.

But to go from there to saying that we think that raping a child etc is not an evil thing to do is unutterably disgusting. If you have an ounce of decency, you should apologise to every atheist on this forum.

and I'll add that you can only get to that assertion is by grossly misunderstanding what's been said here, unintentional or not.
