That is a very ridiculous thing to suggest, unless that was the point. Simply stating that evil is an abstract concept doesn't make anyone exempt from being held responsible for their actions and doesn't mean that no one should be punished for committing a crime or transgression against another person.

It was definitely the point.
I'm not saying that true evil exists (although I feel pretty safe in classifying certain acts as evil, even if I won't go so far as to call the actor evil). I merely dislike the 'I am what I dream myself' argument. I find the counter culture approach of 'Just because society deems it to be wrong' a moot point in this sort of conversation where we are discussing the truly despicable, and not moral ambiguities.
