As for time and culture, does that make any difference? If people were less moral in the past they were less moral in the past.

Is there such a thing as objective evil? NO. I'm unaware of any external or transcendental moral authority which is able to define such a thing...

Very interesting answer.

And people from the past would look at us and consider us to be less moral than them.

Yup...and people of the future will view the last 2000 years of 'xtianity' and call it 'The Dark Ages'

There is no Evil nor Good in the world around us.
The concepts of Evil and Good hides in our Minds.
I have a secret and it is down below!

Evil does exist. Someone continues to let Ben Affleck act. I keep telling people this and no one listens.

There is no objective evil, but subjective evil is all around us, in the form of whatever anyone considers to be 'evil'.

Her show should have been called "Wooden Woman" not "Wonder Woman"

I'm young, but not so young as to have not seen reruns of Wonder Woman and the old Batman.

It's a wonder any of the superheros made it into the modern era, they were at one point so damn dorky.

We had three tv channels, it was either wonderwoman or someone doing some carpentry or some other uninteresting tosh.
