Evil and Good are in direct opposition.

Evil rules by the principle of servitude to Its Master.

Good exists for the mutual benefit of all.

If this is true, then there are a lot of systems that are evil which proclaim themselves to be of good nature.

I rarely ever see religions proclaiming the mutual benefit of all. They usually are out casting those who do not follow the religious views. I would say that is not mutual benefit, to murder someone for oppositional views.

Extremely oversimplifyed anology which can only exist in a philosophers mind, reality is vastly different.

In reality there are little difference between good and evil, a surgeon has to destroy tissue in order to save you. We have to kill people in warfare, bomb innocent people and shoot innocent people in collateral damage ..just to hit a few bad guys.

Do you know the term, choosing between 2 evils? Plague or colera?
