I'm taking this seriously.

Why is it evil? And why is it necessary? And by this I'm assuming you believe it to be a herd instinct?

In a similar thread, people argued that morality is relative to the person. That if they kill, torture, etc. and feel they are doing a good thing, then it is moral.

Many violent individuals have low activity in the orbital cortex part of the brain. The orbital cortex is responsible for our inhibitions, coherent judgment and empathy. Why would someone with an unnatural lack of brain activity be considered to be an equivalent moral agent compared to someone with normal brain activity?

Omega 3's increase activity in the orbital cortex. A study was done where violent prisoners were given a diet rich in Omega 3's and over time reported less impulsiveness and having less violent thoughts.

So than in spite of relativism you believe it to be human law? I mean if it is bred internal it can't be evolved instinct...unless the orbital cortex harbors the instinctive aspect as well.
