Quote:How do you define good and evil?

Something is morally good if it reduces or ceases suffering and something is morally bad if it increases or initiates suffering. And I think that 'evil' is too loaded of a word to be useful to ethics.

Quote:Do you think anything is objectively good or evil? If so what?

I think what I stated above is an objective matter.

Quote:What do you think drives people to aim for what they believe is good and away from what they believe is evil?

People naturally start wanting what is good and bad for themselves and they then project both their self-love and self-hate onto others.
