Why some humans are so evil: double standards and irreligion

Just because you personally cannot possibly fathom the thought of killing/raping/torturing another, doesn't mean the person who does it is mentally ill, or was brainwashed into doing it, or hasn't found God, or doesn't worship the right God, or anything like that. Some people just do it because they like to. Because they are bad people. It's hard for us to wrap our heads around it because it's so severely different from our own tendencies. But that's where we have to remember that not everyone is like us, and there doesn't have to be some sort of explanation for it.

And equally important to remember is that the number of these types of people are vanishingly small compared to how many decent, good folks there are in the human race.
