           It is dangerous to define "evil" exclusively in terms
      of "alienation-from-God"  ---   for domineering-people are
      likely to conclude that the definition would automatically
      mean   that  "evil"   entail  "alienation-from-God's-most-
      faithful-servants";    the   dominant-leaders   in  God's-
      Religious-Institutions.
      
           It is safer to define "evil"  inclusively in terms of
      all-kinds-of-alienation: from-spouse, from-children, from-
      extended-family,  from-tribe,  from-neighbors,  from-city-
      citizens,   from-state-citizens,  from-foreigners,   from-
      enemies.
      
           It  is  appropriate  to define "evil"   in  terms  of
      Dysfunctional-Relationships characterized by:
      
           1.  Alienation between/among insider-participants.
           2.  Alienation between "insiders" and "outsiders".
           3.  Alienation from the wider context/environment.
           4.  Alienation from creative-activities.
           5.  Alienation from growing/learning activities.
           6.  Alienation from humane-scholarship & writings.
           7.  Alienation from humane-scientific-research.
           8.  Alienation from humane-scientific-explorations.
           9.  Alienation between/among religious-leaders.
          10.  Alienation between/among domineering-leaders.
      
           It  is  hard to make a helpful/integrative  case  for
      attributing "evil" to any of the following:
      
           1.  Individuals as isolated "persons".
           2.  Paired-Individuals as an isolated "pair".
           3.  An isolated-small-group just for being isolated.
           4.  Non-conformists as punishment for non-conformity.
           5.  Non-conformist thoughts for being embarrassing.
           6.  Speaking honest-truths to domineering-powers.
           7.  Exposing dishonest/misleading statements as such.
           8.  Participants in another religion/culture as such.
           9.  An isolate event, place, text, thing or creation.
          10.  Any accurate/honest statement or description.
      
           Domineering-People  are prone to label anything  evil
      if it:
      
           1.  Cannot be controlled by domineering-people.
           2.  Cannot be concealed/discredited by-their-people.
           3.  Cannot be overwhelmed by their-collusive-games.
           4.  Cannot be excommunicated by smart-people.
           5.  Cannot be subverted or mislead by powerful people
