    You miss the mark you set for yourself. Ergo you just spew hate in every sentence.
    Sure as shit not, dumbfuck. lol

    Studies have shown, however, that swearing may in fact display a more, rather than less, intelligent use of language.

    Again, no hate, stupid shit. Merely mockery of your collective ignorance.

    Said, the Darwinian cultist that does not want to consider the fact that ABSOLUTE MORALITY exists only in MAN and is not to be found in the natural animal kingdom. When there is no moral compass there is no chance of being JUDGED or PUNISHED. Sounds like someone is attempting to justify a closet full of something...……. There are certain codes of moral conduct that are "UNIVERSAL" that indeed does define evil and righteousness. Morality, in a logical sense, since it is not to be found NATURALLY must be....a transcending creation.

    To be certain you understand the question, murder is the intentional taking of innocent life.
    You can't even give a universal definition of murder, so you'd best not go down that rabbit hole.

    One more time, pal.

    I said it's beyond my ability to grasp the concept.

    Is abortion evil? Is the murder of abortion doctors and bombing of abortion clinics evil?

    Was Jeffery Dahmer evil or just have a psychiatric disorder?

    “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
    Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
    Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
    Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

    Superficial charm and good intelligence - check, except for the intelligence part.

    Absence of delusions and other signs of irrational thinking - ?

    Absence of nervousness or neurotic manifestations - check, other than possible tweets.

    Unreliability - check

    Untruthfulness and insincerity - triple check

    Lack of remorse and shame - double check

    Inadequately motivated antisocial behavior - check

    Poor judgment and failure to learn by experience - check

    Pathologic egocentricity and incapacity for love - double check

    General poverty in major affective reactions - ?

    Specific loss of insight - check

    Unresponsiveness in general interpersonal relations - nope. Always responds with lies and attacks

    Fantastic and uninviting behavior with alcohol and sometimes without - No alcohol, just uninviting behavior

    Suicide threats rarely carried out - nope

    Sex life impersonal, trivial, and poorly integrated - triple check

    Failure to follow any life plan - Just depended on Daddy and fucking others out of their money.

    Trump = sociopath. Evil? Naw.
    Dumbass
    Obsessed
    Mendacious
    Egotistical

    Without liberals (evil), how would anyone know the true meaning of good (Republicans).

    Nope, dumbfuck. No such thing as ABSOLUTE MORALITY in man. There is no "UNIVERSAL" moral conduct, either, and you can't name a single example of one.

    By being amoral (probably), the animal kingdom is far ahead of man. And I'm not even sure about their lack of morals.

    I gave you a few examples of what I (and most people) would consider 'Evil'.
    I'm having a hard time understanding why it's a "beyond my ability to grasp the concept."
