who debate the concept of evil, Evil Revivalists and Evil Sceptics. Evil Revivalists are all about evil being a useful term in today's society. They argue the word "evil" is the only concept we can use for the worst of the worst. They also say that only by facing the evil in our lives can we prevent it.
