A cop out? Huh?
The reason I don't believe that specifically objective 'Evil' exists is because I know of no evidence whatsoever for that. Everyone has different views on the matter.
However much we may generally SHARE our own concept(s) of evil, we still differ - and there is no evidence of a truly OBJECTIVE 'evil' out there.
That is why I don't believe in objective evil: No evidence.
I do not think desire is the root cause of evil because there are harmless but enjoyable desires too. And desires that are enjoyable for more than one person that people can share - not evil.
Ignorance however although normally the problems it causes are perhaps mild - CAN be very bad.
The ignorance of "faith" - belief without evidence, causes a lot of 'evil' in the world for example. But that is using my own subjective definition of 'evil'. There is no evidence of any OBJECTIVE 'evil' as I said.
