Evil
Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot - these names are associated with the epitome of evil. With arrogant and wicked (see Wicked) schemes, they brought about unspeakable injustice and shed much innocent blood. Their evil went beyond the sins of racism, prejudice, lying, stealing or murder. It was their persistence and their pride in their atrocities that characterized these men as thoroughly evil.

We would be horrified if someone added our name to this list of wicked men, yet we all have sinful human nature that, without God, is capable of every kind of evil. The Truly evil person loves what God hates and refuses to admit his or her wrong. Avoid evil, for god will one day completely punish all evil.

God hates all sin (see Sin), but these evils are particularly detestable to him:
