After publishing this post yesterday, I've reconsidered whether my distinction between "wicked" and "evil" men is supported in the scriptures or if I am drawing a line between them unnecessarily.

I have been re-reading this blog, and on one hand I can agree that we are not evil, but only in the sense that we are not yet like Satan. Neither are we good, but we have been placed between good and evil and are choosing one or the other every second, every minute of every day. With this revelation about what we choose, we are judged. As you once said, it is not about being good, but about choosing good. Now if there is no absolute evil and no absolute good, but variations or shades, then there is no test for us. It all becomes a matter of choosing what we 'think' is good thereby creating our own definitions of Good and Evil.

Thanks Clark, you've been able to tie together the loose ends for me, stating we are not "evil" insofar as we are not as Satan.
