Yes even within say a mostly Christian nation, the defintions of morality change and what was once seen as evil is now accepted. Women can now wear gold and fancy hairdo's. Slavery is now frowned upon, views on homosexuality are changing, as is Man being the head of the woman like Jesus is the Church.I‘ve often thought of the impact of societal norm of our definition of evil. It’s a sliding scale. Our early ancestors thought the natives evil as they bashed a captured child against a tree. I’m sure the native saw the child as something of no value, a burden and a threat to his very existence.
As I’ve aged and watched our societal norm of what is evil evolve it’s unsettling.
It sorta goes both ways really, some evil things are abandoned as we learn and some thigs what were once evil no longer are.
