Be proud of me for I have shown "What IS good" (if not "how do we determine it")by taking the high road... As much as it pained me to do so.
Well done, sir.

What IS good, and how do we determine it?
|
 Well done, sir. 
This has probably been said in some form or another in the 200+ pages this has been up, but I'll say it again because it bears repeating.
Good and evil are human words invented to describe concepts that humans conceived. In nature, there is no such thing as good or evil. Those are terms we apply to things we observe to classify them under a certain category of ideas; in other words, we assign the values of "good" or "evil" to things, events, and actions...nothing is inherently good or evil.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42) Also, I has a website: www.RedbeardThePink.com
See my signature for thoughts from Phillip Pullman, which I agree with.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
Plagiarize much?

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
