Human Flourishing
While the secular attempt to define evil tries to use human flourishing & distortion of good as an attempted standard, the Biblical response concerning them is a much better and grounded one. Whereas human flourishing is really hard to put a pin on in the changing tides of society standards. Christian, even if you don’t agree with them is rooted in a non-changing standard. The Christian understanding and grounding for good actually gives you a way to view distortion that can be backed up by a consistent Lawgiver.
