Lawlessness
Some philosophers might say that I'm confusing things. When I mention criminals, then I'm really describing those who chose a path of consistently breaking the Law. That laws are made by Humanity and sometimes arbitrary.

That is partially true. Some laws seem capricious. There seems to be no sense to the law. Maybe it was created a long ago. Maybe in certain countries the things that are lawful are not lawful elsewhere. That would tend to mean that “law” is subjective and that there is no Ultimate Law.

What do you believe?

I think most people will say that there are degrees of wrongness in society, and therefore some laws protect the members of society. Some laws are quite minor and other very major transgressions.

Murdering someone is usually considered a major offense and such a transgression against society breaks the Law. It ends their life without cause, and there's no way of achieving Justice even if the perpetrator is executed, it cannot ever bring the victim back. As such, that kind of lawbreaking is usually considered evil.

Rape is the violation of a person's mind, body, and soul. If damages them. The crime cannot ever be unmade. There cannot be Justice done even if the perpetrator is executed, for the victim lives on in shame and guilt. As such, that kind of lawbreaking is usually considered evil.

Would you agree that those crimes (the breaking of those specific laws) are evil?
