For me, evil as a force is non-existant. Evil as a thought, however, most certainly does.
For example, (to go back to the Hitler thing) Hitler thought what he was doing was right, further than that, he KNEW what he was doing was right because what he was doing was getting Germany back on its feet again after the rest of Europe had screwed it over after the First World War with the Treaty of Versailles. The rest of Europe, apart from Mussolini the leader of Italy, thought that what he was doing was wrong and evil.
Evil is entirely subjective and something that is thrown around too much these days. I was called evil recently because I was wearing and ankh around my neck. A murderer will be called evil because of the things he or she does. There is no relationship between these two things, other than that one person considers them to be evil.
So basically, evil is an invention of the mind that stems from the things we are indoctrinated with at a young age.
Of course, all of this is my own opinion.
