| How's this for a hypothetical, context-dependent example of a behavior being "evil" in one context, and "good" in another context:
An adult grabs onto a small child's arm and pulls the child towards the adult with enough force to break the bone. This is considered "evil" and defined as "child abuse", but I can think of (at least) one situation where it is NOT:
The child is in the street, and there is an oncoming bus about to kill the child.
This is what I'm getting at. There are many such examples one can think of.
I'm not sure I CAN prove that "moral absolutes" do not exist, but I am in the highly skeptical camp with regards to moral absolutes. (Which, as I've stated previously, has nothing to do with that all-encompasing Universal TRUTH that's being discussed, either) |
