Quote:"SO THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS" Do they???
Umm, well yes,actually,a least for me. It's the basis of moral relativism, realpolitik, business, and the way the world actually works day-to-day. Morality is based on pragmatism.
However, that's not a position one may take as a follower of any of the Abrahamic faiths. The Torah, the new Testament and the Koran are all replete with moral absolutes. The Torah has the most,with 613 .(They are known collectively as The Mitzvot, Mosaic Law,or simply The Law.Christianity ignores all but ten.)
