What is evil and is it real?

I also attribute that atheists frequesntly misuse the word attributing evil to the idea of God. I've seen Eiloweeny and CP use the arguement of that Evil entity in the sky at times. I think more frequently than some would like to admit, theists become diillusioned to the "Evil acts" rampant in the Bible and simply can't reconcile a Good God with an Evil one. Or even non theists researching the Bible simply choose not to believe in something they percieve as "Evil".
