Good and Evil

[Mudhammam]

Okay, about Manson.  He was right in that he had the capability of establishing a moral system for himself (or more amoral, it seems).  He was even persuasive enough to convince a few people to accept him as god of THEIR worlds, as well.  And this is not that different than how Nazi morality allowed the branding of gypseys as baby-eaters, or Jews as shifty, subhuman non-humans.

Whether there are others who have a better grip on morality is irrelevant if we accept that morality is subjective.  I'm free to arbitrarily establish whatever ideas I like about good and evil.  HOWEVER, and this is the big caveat, so is everyone else.  Being god of my own existence won't be much use to me if I have a bullet hole through my head, or if I'm trapped in prison.

I don't accept that morality is subjective, and that good and evil are arbitrary distinctions made on the whims of each individual's preferred object of gratification. I think there are things that actually are good and evil, regardless if everyone wakes up tomorrow and decides otherwise.
