So, is evil always evil? Or can sometimes evil be good?
(Yes, I'm joking, this is a response to all those 'Is X evil?' threads.)
Only on Sundays.
And when they're a Paladin of Asmodeus
here a tought that might help your question:
The Joker is evil. Batman is the opposite alignment of the Joker. Batman is more powerful than the Joker.
Thus if the Joker turns good, Batman (as the opposite alignment) would be evil and still stronger, thus destroying Gotham.
So it is a good act for the Joker to be purely evil.

I remember seeing that on television once.

Yeah me too... except it ended with alternate universe good batman beating bad batman.
To the OP, well no of course not, evil is awesome! how can awesome be evil?

Morality is subjective, so it's not surprising that these questions come up in a system that tries to qualify it as objective.

This is by far the alignment thread of the month making more sense.
Dead serious.
Everybody knows that evil is a foot.
It's really that small? I would have thought three feet at least.
One man's evil is another man's good. One thing I've learned through experience in this life is that nothing is objectively evil, or if it is not everyone can agree on it. You'd think something like murder, rape, torture, etc would be universally reviled but there are governments and cultures that not only accept them but use them as tools.
I may be an unrepentant a!~+@#*, but in a world of relative morality I look like a Paladin.
Relevent.I mean, by some relativistic standards, evil might be good, or something. And stuff.

Relevant. But still, I do like that clip. It's like if religious figures actually made interesting and ponderous philosophical arguments instead of practicing pseudo-political demagoguery.

Pshaw! I say
Unrepentant a+&$#**ry is a requirement of the order!
d20 evil alignment is especially egoism. If the goals of an evil character coincide with something good, yeah, why not.
Ultimately, his alignment will most certainly lead to evil deeds but that's not carved into stone.
Perfect example btw: Riddick - to some extent

I think Riddick starts Evil, probably, but by the end and in the second film he's certainly Neutral.

What about F.A.T.A.L? I'm pretty sure it is objectively evil.
My paladin of Rovagug says evil is not evil.
The argument over whether or not slavery is evil was, I think, a very low point.
I know right?
I was pretty impressed by it actually.

Generally if you have to ask if something is evil then the answer is yes
This is by far the alignment thread of the month making more sense.
That is by far the sentence of the month making less sense :P

Evil governments and cultures. "Everybody's doing it" doesn't make it OK.
If someone told you that it's a good act to jump off a bridge, would you do it? No? EVILDOER!!!!!!!!!! :P

Hm.....
Is it evil to follow laws? Any laws?
There, I made laws evil now! Let's all join in anarchy, which is, by definition, good.
My paladin of Rovagug says evil is not evil.
My, what an illogical paladin!
So, is evil always evil?
Yes

+1 to that.
Define 'evil'.
Is trolling trolling?Fixed it for you! ;-PDefine 'trolling'.
Also 'is'.
is: existential linking verb (linking verbs associate a noun (person/place/thing) with another noun or adjective (description word))
trolling: using the antagonize feat on the internet.
here goes ....
If Evil was always "Evil" then the possibility of alignment change would not exist. Ergo Evil is NOT always evil, just as Good is NOT always good.
Also, Who's the Boss? Angela...
Mrgh.
