Am I Evil?

People with faith seem to have a need to point out if something is evil or not. For example, Hitler was evil, Mother Theresa was kind hearted and so on. This of course requires the need of an absolute moral values that exists without the need of individuals to decide whether or not a given action is evil or not. Why is that?

I have a hard time understanding how such a construction would be possible, impossible if there is no god of course. Then he would simply say alakhazam and there would be some link between every action and a set of specified values. But let us assume that there are no values, no good or evil. What would be the consequences?

Some people with faith claim that in such a case all of man would fight among themselves in an endless turmoil, making nothing but carnage and that all good things in life come from the all mighty god and his values passed on to man. I don't think that this is the case, I would rather say mankind is very much capable of taking a set morals at any given time given a number of circumstances. How do people with faith explain all the evil in the world today? Are the people who do "bad" doing it conscientiously? Do they strive towards doing wrong because they are "evil"?

I'd rather explain it by simply stepping beyond good and evil, they do "bad" because we see what they do and compare it to our morals and say that it is bad because we don't share their opinions and views. Hitler was just as human as any believer or disbeliever for that matter, given the circumstances that surrounded him I am convinced that any of us would have made similar reasonings and taken similar actions.

We are no better than any of those we see as "evil", but we have the chance to understand how they became "evil" and by doing so we might even learn what it really means to be human.
