No, "evil" (or "good") is not "plain to those w. eyes to see"; it couldn't be as it is abstract, an idea or notion or perhaps a quality of idea or notion--to judge fm how it is understood and spoken of. "Evil" couldn't be "greed" as it is so common, not always acted upon, and regarding "violence," there is defensive violence--these are just examples of ur own mental incoherence and the great difficulty in saying what it is or could be.
"[H]atred of life on earth?--I guess Homer is "evil" when he says (in effect) that life sucks--life is one problem after another, and it can be quite painful and bothersome at times for lots of folks. "Hatred"/repulsion has degrees to it, like love/attraction, they being emotional reciprocals. Hatred could be mild dislike or annoyance, like affection is somewhat attractive fragrance.
Yes, "evil" and "good" are subjective--"evil" is what I don't like, etc. So u effectively admit as it is subjective, it doesn't and couldn't really exist. "Ethno-religious fanaticism"?--well, I take it seriously, and as I note, Christianity and satanism are two tremendously PHILOSOPHICAL-oriented religions, "religion" the outer husk and vehicle designed to make them (the philosophy) relatable or practically applicable for humans, the social gatherings and prayers, the icons and statuary, even the music and choral singing, etc. U may see it as "fanaticism," but I merely consider I take it w. great seriousness--as so many do--pls excuse us for that seriousness which u see as "fanatic," but I assure u I try to temper it all w. reason, as Christ (or the Holy Spirit) would have us do, right?
Thus Judaism is forthright militarism--war against humanity and "Amalek" (gentiles), and it entails sociology, politics, and economics. Christianity is literary allegory upon TRUTH (= Christ, Gosp. JOHN 14:6) as it makes its painful way through life of persecution and suffering, each one who defends such truth having to bear his/her "cross," which truth can NEVER be killed as u Pharisees tried to kill Christ, because truth arises fm the objective reality. And such God-given reality cannot be killed, truth ALWAYS RESURRECTING, coming back to bite--u Jews universally and understandably hated by all races and cultures, kicked-out of nearly every country numerous times--there are more expulsions coming, comrade, don't doubt.
Thus the Christ figure in New Test. need never to have existed in actual reality and history--it's just a mythic characterologic substitute for the sacred truth. And "satan"?--satan doesn't exist either, but satanism surely does: it's that extreme HUBRIS which imagines it is literally God-like, as the Jews do, pretending they create reality, according to the definition. But satanism isn't "evil"--it's simply madness--somewhat like u, Mulga, would u say?

Evil is plain to those with eyes to see. Evil is greed and violence, and the hatred of Life on Earth. Of course the judging of Evil is subjective. You may indeed find the destruction of Life and unbridled greed to not be wicked. That is your prerogative. You may indulge it, and your pretentious illiteracy to your heart’s content.
I certainly don’t see Evil in everyone, but I get a whiff of it reading your pompous rant, with its stench of ethnoreligious fanaticism. Satan keeps you awake at night, does he? Apollo? More a cut-rate Dionysus, drunk on his own bombast.

"Good-Evil" Don't Exist Except As Madness, Like Satanism And Hubris
