Cool. I'm glad we're clear on that.
Actually, I'm trying to go down the path of getting people to substantiate their claims.

Evil as a concept still applies, but I think they simply meant that rejecting god is an evil act, but not necessarily an act that makes it evil incarnate.
Unsubstantiated claims abound still, so I'm tracking that, at least.
The concept of evil could exist without god being real, right? Doesn't that make defining embracing evil as refusing god a redefinition?
