   Do we need the concept of evil?

   • We need the concept of evil. To avoid confusion, it is important to note that there are at least two concepts of evil: a broad concept and a narrow concept.

   • But there is evil in the world. Thus, there is reason to believe that an all-powerful, all-knowing, all-good creator does not exist. In contrast to the broad concept of evil, the narrow concept of evil picks out only the most morally despicable sorts of actions, characters, events, etc.
