RE: Good and Evil

May 4, 2015 at 2:57 am (This post was last modified: May 4, 2015 at 2:57 am by robvalue.)

I think good and evil are only judgements that humans make about things. Nothing and no one is intrinsically good or evil. We decide what we think is good and evil on an individual basis.

As humans we seem to have a general trend to label certain things evil such as random acts of murder, and as civilisation develops rape, assault and theft too. These seem to be pretty universal.

But I'm sure there have been many people who most would consider evil who genuinely thought they were being "good", or at least justified.
