We probably can define "evil" relative to a certain obsever given a certain criteria for it (say, for example, any opinion beyond a certain "percentage error" from yours) but it's still completely relative to the observer. So, I think trying to concretely define it is futile. Especially since ya can't really quantify emotions or feeling.
