Apparently op, you have never been on the front lines of a war, and feel, sense, and perceive, what it is like to walk over a football field of dead bodies buried roughly 3 inches under the ground, and the service member in front of you, steps on a body and an arm pops up?
Then you move your whole company from that peticular area as everyone is showing animosity and feeling pure evil around
Until you have been there and not a armchair warrior, you can write until your hearts content, however, you have to be there to understand that there is pure evil in this world, and I know from experience
You didn't feel evil. You may have felt fear, dread, hatred, and a variety of other intense negative emotions, but don't forget this most important fact; the ones that sent you there in the first place feel that was is justified.
When a soldier is killed, the killer is evil, but when a soldier kills, then he is honored and glorified.
The point is, everything is justifiable and subjective. We are that which gets to decide what is good and evil and if one disagrees with your opinion, who is right? The answer is there is also no right or wrong. Everything is and is as it should be and couldn't be any other way. The question is, "can you accept that?"

I didn't read everything you said in the OP but the Title is Pee On!
But if there is no eVil, then the flipside says:
There is no righteous!
But to truly understand why there is no eVil, have you ever play a video game and killed sumone in it? Did you dew eVil by killing that person? No! But most will say the person in the video game isn't real sew that doesn't parlay off into real life but your supposed real life isn't real either, so how can there be a difference?

Interesting. For a child, killing seems easy. Listen to them. They talk about it all the time. Especially these days, and those are the days I am living in...soooo. I tell my son, that if you think/talk about killing someone/something, you give permission for someone/something to do the same about you. And, to my mind, that is true. Plus, it does the trick.
But its fine that we aren't there yet. There is no evil; only immaturity. Love needs to be learned.

And for the record, I'm kNot an advocate for harming others, I'm just stating the facts. Because just because sumone can kill another sumone and no harm was actually done, doesn't mean you should run around killing peeps but it's understanding the nature of what this is all about, that's where you find the truth and once you figure out the truth, you don't want to hurt anyone, you want to help everyone to materialize their Dreams within this Nightmare.

Unfortunately you seem to suffer from the common delusion caused by our Latin species designation, sentience is a given, sapience on the other hand, is acquired.
You really should listen to kids. Empathy, for starters, is taught behaviour and the primary building block of sapience, so your position is instantly contradictory.

Learning empathy still depends on the environment a person lives in. Nonetheless, empathy should be a learned trait because if not, the human race wouldn't have survived through reproduction.

Empathy is unnecessary to sexual reproduction, rape and instinctive breeding stimulus prove that. However, to live in groups, and particularly to communicate knowledge that encourages longevity, empathy is essential.
Empathy, or the ability to empathise, occurs in the very first few weeks after birth. A baby kept untouched, unstimulated, and without close eye contact, will not develop the ability to empathise with other humans. We are essentially a sensual animal, and share that same characteristic with all sensual creatures. Whales, Dolphins, the higher primates, all rely on this close nurturing following birth, in order to ensure social bonding as we mature.
