Bear in mind that I'm arguing that choice is not in fact the determinant. So which destructive behaviour patterns do psychiatrists look at say "There's nothing wrong with that guy. He just happens to be evil."?

While of course Christian theology like that which formed J.R.R. Tolkien's worldview disagrees as a nonchristian, I'll just say that actions by themselves are not immoral. If they were, you could call storms evil.
