: I have no concept of the "universal or over-arching" nature of evil. I believe that evil like the "kindom of God" is within. Therefore, as an antithesis to the discussion on charisma I would propose that evil is the embodiment of pure self interest above all else.

Agreed. Isn't evil the cost of keeping an ego-centred, ego-protecting, ego-enhancing UNconsciousness?

To me the conventional Christian concept of evil seems to deny self-responsibility by universalising and putting it 'out there' (extraversion - about 75% of society is extravert, so that (perhaps) extravert ideas of evil have become a 'convenient' way of conceiving of it).
