Do you believe in the existence of pure good or evil?

Thats pretty much my question. What do you believe and why?
I dont, and heres why. I think its impossible for someone to be completely evil. Take any human being thats done something we portray as evil. Are they? Do they consistently go around making the 'evil' choice when faced with a decision? No. They do what they think is right based on what their life has taught them so far. That might have led them to complete insanity - take the virginia tech shooter for instance - but not pure evil.
So what do you think? Are there people that are truly all good or all evil? Powers that conspire that are?

well first the definition of good and evil is relative to the person.if someone kills another person they dont necessarily think they're evil. so in that case its a matter of opinion. but in general no.
nobody is perfect. i dont care who the fuck you are, your not completely good.
and human nature doesnt let us be completely evil.
good topic.

Why the hell do so many people embrace a subjective notion of good? Do you like the fact that something like that opens up the justification of individuals like hitler? i mean that takes it to the extreme but thats where you go to test ideas.
the idea of 'good' is no different than facts of knowledge, some people can't just say something is good while others think it evil, just like you can't have some people say the earth is flat while evidence shows it to be round.
