Or, in moral terms: Morals are the values of the color. Immoral is the label the color applies to it's enemies. Amoral is the attitude of the color to it's allies values."  In the standard D&D alignment system, adherents of neutral evil think that it is obvious that their beliefs represent the superior and correct moral choice and that no rational and truly unbiased being would choose anything else.   They think anyone who doesn't believe as they do is obviously either a hypocrite, a coward, or a fool.  It is inconcievable to them that a rational being would see the alternatives to evil as equal options.</blockquote>
