Can you truly be evil though if you can't tell the right from wrong?
Evil is the state of being without the grace of God. His grace may save someone from evil, but by a any reasonable definition of morality those without His grace are evil, whether they're aware of it and reject it or not, as all good flows from Him. (I don't believe any of this.)
No, that's sin. Evil is causing suffering for no reason other than the lulz.
Isn’t it evil enough that you don’t avoid evil actions? Is it necessary to take it a step further by intentionally favoring evil actions or even restricting yourself to exclusively evil behaviors.
