"Good vs Evil"

[BT]

Evil is subjective.

is it less evil to firebomb a city than it is to gas Jews by the trainload?

Seems to me the difference is in the delivery mechanism.

I think it could be black & white. In order to stop the murder of millions of innocent jews and other people firebombing a german town is OK (to end war) or dropping an A bomb on hiroshima would be OK to stop the slaughter of millions of innocent people.

Dead is dead.

Is the evil in the killing or is the evil dependent on who dies?

Do you think the victims went to their graves happy with the dying thought that theirs was a justified killing?

Rationalization is for the living. The dead don't care anymore.

I think it's pretty complicated but in the end God will sort it all out. In the meantime we all inherently know right from wrong and should conduct ourselves accordingly.

Just to muddy the waters, but the concept of right and and wrong often is subjective.

that's the confusing part of it for you and me but it's clearly not subjective to God.

Is the Hindu God the same as the Christian God?

[Xavier_Onassis]

There are a variety of Hindu gods. Allah and Jesus and Jehovah may be the same entity, but they express themselves very differently. Americans like the idea that all religions are about the same things, but this is not actually true in terms of theology and values.

Do Hindu's believe that Satan exists, i.e. there is good and evil?

I have no idea.

if we assume that people that believe in God believe in the devil then there is good & evil in the world.

Does belief = reality?

Have you ever felt terrible about something you said or did to another person?

I would hope you said yes. Where does that come from? You can't see it, hear it, touch it but something inside you told you that it was wrong & hurtful , bad, not good. People instinctively know right from wrong, good from bad. God put that in you. You have a choice to go out and be the next Hitler or follow Mother Theresa, which path would be the good path and which path would be the evil path?
