[John V]

Good person = Someone that avoids causing mental, physical, or financial harm to another person but tries to alleviate such harm if it occurs.

Evil person = Someone that intentionally causes mental, physical, or financial harm to another person.

Good things = Helping other people not experience mental, physical, or financial harm or suffering.

Evil things = Anything that causes people mental, physical, or financial harm or suffering.

Since you define good/evil people based on their actions, and intent/justifications aren't involved, there is no such thing as a good person who does evil things. A person who does evil things is by definition an evil person.

Can this be applied to other things than religion? Of course. I've already pointed out one. Patriotism is often used by people to justify commiting evil acts.

The number one justification though, is religion.

So you know that "that takes religion" is false, but you quote it and defend it anyway. Strange.
