How anyone ‘uses’ anything can make it evil. Is a shovel used to ‘define’ evil?

If not, what is innately evil?

It's the actor, not whatever handy thing he happens to grab hold of. Remember, we blame the bad guys who misuse guns, not the guns themselves.

I don't think you can use an inanimate object to define "evil" at all. Or an inanimate idea.
