I believe in this: Morally bad or wrong; wicked = evil.
If I use the word evil as an adjective, I could replace it with wicked or morally bad. Would you argue that those don't exist either?
Are you saying that all judgements as to the moral negativity of human behavior are just artificially created abstract ideas?
