Many people would think that Adolf Hitler fits the bill. Then there's Charles Manson, that lady who cut her baby's arms and legs off for Christ, the lady who drowned her kids cuz God told her to, etc., etc. So I'd say, yes, there is such a thing as an "Evil Christian".
Why would think it's an oxymoron? Doesn't the christian religion say that all humans are evil, but Jesus Christ will forgive you, no matter what you do?
Are you saying that even if a Christian goes an an genocidal war rampage, killing millions of innocent people, he's still not "Evil", because Jesus forgives him?
That's just sick.

From a certain point of view if you think about it that's exactly what every Christian is. I mean just because you believe in Christ doesn't mean that every decision you make is a perfect one. Christians make Evil decisions all day every day just like every one else but the advantage Christians have is the opportunity to take advantage of the atonement through repentance. Thus making their evil decision erased.

Hitler, John Wayne Gacy, Peter Sutcliffe. There are more. Just lok in the prison system, or do a little research into serial killers to find some very evil people who claim to be christian.

an evil Christian is a hypocrite since they are not following the words of Christ. however most Christians do not follow the exact words of Christ which makes all of us not hypocrites, but sinners just as God said we are which is why we have something called repentance. In essence an evil christian would be a human like you are since humans are born with natural emotions, genes and brain waves and chemicals that makes us who we are.
Putting titles on serial killers and evil people is biased and ridiculous since everyone in this world belongs to various groups. if this is your argument for loathing christians then you must hate everyone of every nationality, group, creed, root, religion since everyone kill and have sinned. Second Hitler wasnt a christian. Thirdly, why do you feel as though you have to label everyone that sins and generalize them as a whole? a man that murders his wife u find out was a christian and instantaneous, all christians are hypocrites. should i do the same with a woman that kills her baby who happened to be atheist and generalize all atheists as children killers? come on, people that theory of christians and murder is getting tired and old.

that is impossible.
a Christian lives as Jesus did. Jesus was not evil! look into the meaning of the words. a Christian follows the example of Jesus Christ. so it is impossible for a Christian to be evil.
if a person is evil, they are not following the Lord. it cannot be both ways. if a person is evil and claims to be a Christian--- they are making themselves out to be a liar.
another side of the question----
a believer in Christ is a child of God everyday. but like a child, a Christian stumbles in many ways. Christ is fully able to make Christians stand.
"evil Christian" is simply a contradiction of terms. why? the motive of heart and soul. the Christian's soul is dedicated to following the example of Jesus Christ.

well there is no "good" christian according to God. I don't think the capital "E" belongs on evil. An "evil christian" to me would be like a "sinful" one. And that is all of us. We all sin.

Still some of the worst people I know claim to be Christians.
