Simply declaring it beyond > understanding is, in my opinion, just not wanting to do your homework. You equate describing something as "evil" with "declaring it beyond understanding"? I don't. I can understand evil (not always, especially in extreme cases - but often). I've wanted to commit evil, and have occasionally failed to resist the temptation to do so. I understand why others would be tempted to do evil, and why they sometimes give in. There are many people whose acts have been far more evil than any that I've ever committed or even been tempted to commit, but I'm intelligent enough to extrapolate from my own experiences, with due attention to the dangers of extrapolation. To me, calling something "evil" does not mark it as beyond understanding, but only as seriously undesirable behavior, whether or not it is well understood.
