      I think you've summed up what I was getting at by voxwoman2005-08-04 06:22:15

          because good and evil are relative by voxwoman2005-08-04 08:03:01
            I'm not entirely sure I agree by MatthewDBA2005-08-04 08:48:01
              here's a context for you by voxwoman 2005-08-04 09:21:46
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)
