[Serious] Good vs Evil

[Losty]

Since I made the thread, I’ll answer the questions. (Also, not really sure why I posted this in the religion forum, can’t remember lol)

I don’t believe in good and evil really. Not like that. I think subjectively things can be good (better than neutral) or bad (worse than neutral). Good is a word I use often. Just to mean something I like or something I think benefits myself, others, or the world. Evil is a word I never use. The concept of evil is silly to me, because it seems to imply some sort of supernatural meaning to the word bad.

The thing is I think everyone is good by their own terms. No one sets out to be bad. No one chooses to be a bad person. I think I read once that human beings tend to base their morals on what they want to do rather than basing what they want to do on their morals. So there’s a lot of justifying that goes on, with all of us. But I think everyone tries to do good based on what they believe to be good. This is likely an evolutionary trait? I’m assuming. Being “good” and doing “good” gives us a better shot at surviving and at happiness I guess.

So to you there is no evil?

Yet if I take my wild child who is being abusive and destructive in a public setting and give him a controlled and measured spanking each and every time he steps over a line, then I become evil.

But if a child takes an rpg and blows up a squad of marines because his mother conditioned him to hate americans/anyone not muslim. The child retains his innocences and the mother is not a bad or evil person....

Seriously?!?!?

Spanking breaks the line of evil  but training children to be jihadist murders is "good?"

Again you have some sort of working definition of evil, can you please explain how spanking a child is evil but training a child to be a murder is not.

or are we back to self righteousness? where you are the measure of good and evil, meaning anything you do not like is evil and anything that does not directly effect you can be considered a form of good?

If that is the case can you see how self righteousness can be the heart of all things evil?

First of all, fuck you for being a liar. I never ever said training a child to be a murderer isn’t bad. So fuck you. I never said that shit.
If you spank a child, it really depends how you spank them how I’m going to feel about it. It could range anywhere between you’re wrong to you’re a disgusting piece of garbage child abuser.
If you train a child to be a murderer, there’s no range you’re just a disgusting piece of garbage child abuser.
In either situation, the child is innocent.
You intentionally misrepresented my position, because you’re an asshole.
