Wanting to hurt others, for the sake of hurting them, is evil

It looks evil when seen from the outside

Pain and sorrow sometimes make people do such things, it's not really evil in my book, it's more of idk, payback somehow

For the justice system, western one, intent matters when it comes to crime

That's what makes the difference between manslaughter, and murder

In the bible it's not written you shall not kill

Most people believe that's what's written, but that's not what it says

It says you shall not murder

Which is quite different

https://www.biblehub.com/exodus/20-13.htm

The king james among others says "shall not kill"

But the Young's Literal Translation for instance says 'Thou dost not murder.

It's murder, because kill doesn't make sense

You have a car accident you kill a pedestrian you go to hell? It's ridiculous, it's an accident

Murder (first degree) requires intent and premeditation

...

But, the fact that god said it's a capital sin, is it enough to qualify it as evil deed?

Imagine you're a jew and you murder hitler (caricatural example for normies)

Is that evil? ... (if we start with the premise of 6 million) What's evil? Murdering him or letting him live? While there are no doubts regarding his intentions toward jews...

It's not simple those stories of good and evil

Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I know, nowhere in the bible is evil defined

The devil is in the Bible (40 days and 40 nights in the desert). Not sure if that's a direct example, but meh.

Yeah at best it's described as supernatural being

Implying that, objective evil exists I think, according to the bible of course
