I think EP was saying a similar thing. James's moral action was good but his moral character was boastful and spiteful, character traits that are usually considered immoral.
I'm saying giving that money to charity would've been moral even if he got the money by killing and robbing someone. Still agree with me?
Well yeh, giving the money to charity is morally good action still. Overall the actions of robbing and killing someone to give the money to charity I'd say were morally bad and I'd say the person doing the killing was of a morally bad character. Unless the circumstances were extremely unusual but I can't think what those circumstances would be right now that would make me change my mind about that.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
