    Knowingly causing harm

    But what if you knowingly cause harm to someone knowingly causing harm to innocents?

    Or is that not harm, because it is a net-harm loss on the balance?

    Anyone who does what is good is from God.
    Conversely, anyone who does what is evil is not from God.
    Evil is everything that isn't from God.

    Sorry for another hot potato. But, I think you're adding to scripture.

    Isa 45:7

    I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

    I think the life of Jesus defines good and evil.

    EVIL can be GOOD. WICKED cannot be GOOD.

    Here's a wrench for you moralizers: What if there is no such thing as "evil" or "good," as in the animal kingdom, but rather it is actually intelligence vs stupidity?

    Evil and good are only perceived through the eyes of the victimized. To the predatory creature, human or beast, it is actually the above.

    Any intelligent responses?

    Agreed. Therein lies the rub.

    But then... even the term victimized might be called into question...
