I recently watched a vid that compared two different types of evil characters. It discussed the villains who know they are evil,but act evil anyway for the sake of it,vs. the villains who actually believe that their evil acts are good and they are good people for doing them. It led to raise this question.
Which type of evil person is worse? One who knows they are being evil but do it anyway,or one who is convinced they are being good by doing evil things?
I know this is an interesting question,but any thoughts?

It is an interesting question. I believe that after we leave this physical existence that there will be compensation and retribution for all good and evil deeds done whilst we are in this realm.
If someone has done bad things on purpose, it's fairly simple for the first example. But what if, say, someone murders someone whilst mentally ill?
A disability should never be punished as it won't have been done on purpose (but the public would need to be protected from them). They may not have even known that they were doing it or were suffering from hallucinations or delusions.
I personally think that various of our Prime Ministers have done terrible things, but if they genuinely believed that it was the right thing to do for the greater good then they won't face retribution (but will possibly be given education though).
So, in answer to your question, the first example is definitely the worst.
