    then it ain't evil in the other society...
    like the death penalty for example.. many ppl in my society (UK) think its evil and so it is evil here..
    BUT if i go Saudi... it ain't evil.. its just.

    so basically evil not only depends on what but also where...

    What would make a society label something as evil?

    For example think of this:

    Osama bin Laden is seen by Americans as evil.
    Bush is seen as stupid, but not evil (by Americans).
    Yet both of them killed the innocent.
    So if we say that they don't label their president as evil because he is one of them, then doesn't that make American society greedy, and hence evil?

    ^^^Just out of the top of my head.

    I agree.

    After all...the first crime in history (If you believe in any of the monotheistic faiths) was committed because of 2 brothers that loved the same girl.

    Is incest considered a crime in any religions? If so, I'm sure Adam and Eve's kids were the first criminals.

    evil is brought about by humans in order to create stability, we by nature want to feel secure but to do so we create taboo's, we deem things evil in order to protect ourselves from ourselves.
