An animal, whether human or otherwise, that kills another animal is not “evil”; it is acting according to all that there is; its own will. It may be inconvenient, we may not like it, we may attempt to do something about it, against it, but it is not evil; it just is. | | Also it is inaccurate to state that atheism does nothing about evil; it actually makes it go away by [[Atheism and deception|pretending that it does not exist]].
