Good, Bad, and Sin don't exist? What?

[Bling Kai]

Ofcourse it's up to interpretation, it's not black and white- there's plenty of grey between. How old are you if you don't know this?

No bad I a bad good is good. There is no way killing for no reason is good if you think that you are wrong. Interpretations don't make it right. 2+2=4 but if Someone accidentally got 5 instead you can't say it is because if interpretation. You got five because you were wrong, you think killing for no reason is not bad because your defenition of bad is wrong.

Okay, the ability to feel empathy in inherent in humans so if something pains one, others will empathise. This is what I believe guides morality. Certain 'bad' actions can be considered fine to some depending on which way their moral compass points. Eg killing a man because he raped your child is okay to me, but others may disagree and that's fine because good and bad are entirely subjective.

Yeah empathy guides morality so there's good and bad

In those cases is more about thinking and less about feeling

 

[Phobos]

There is a defenition for all 3 of those things. If you think otherwise it's called being wrong.

More likely, you are wrong.

haha, is your sig for real.??

Yep, bunch of beautifuly arranged pixels.

Then I conclude that humankind can never see eye to eye if they feel that way.

Good, Bad, and Sin only exist if you have morally...

if you were never raised with those things, you would simply think nothing is wrong with killing others...

we have Police Officers, Laws, and Rules to tell us what good and bad is...

 

[Scooby Doo]

There are deeds that are good for someone and there are deeds that are bad. There are beneficial and there are harmful deeds.

Depending on the situation everything can be justified. One example is the Uchiha massacre

So if I kill someone it's wrong, right?
But what if by killing one I save two, or thousad?
Shiiiet *****, I broke yo shiet.

Yeah, good and bad exist to a point, but not all things that negatively impact someone's life are always bad. If this were the case and good men stood by that 100%, the good forces would never win wars.

No it is wrong because you can't ever kill and it be considerd good. That is the truth you have been misinformed about the defenition of good and bad so no.

Yeah cuz empathy guides us in understanding good and bad but also guides us in doing good and bad things

Let's get back to sin. What is your definition of sin?

 

[wanderingcactus]

Sin exists since mankind do things out of desires and wants rather than necessity. We kill because we want something. We steal because we want that thing we couldnt afford. And so on and so forth. While lesser beings kill because they are threatened or steal because theyre hungry and thristy, etc.

What if we kill because we need something? Same for stealing. Is that called something else?

Well yeah, so you wouldn't save the world if it ment killing one person.
I say you are a bad person because of your stupid moral BS.

If you don't kill one to save thousand then yeah you didn't kill one person, you killed a thousand.

Funny how you're from Texas and don't think that killing can be justified for any reason. I think you're just some kid who just learned a little bit of philosophy so you're spouting crap claiming that you know everything. Grow up junior

Sometimes good and bad have to take a back seat to the right choice.

 

[vasu 32]

It's really an opinion and interpretation. Those threads were right. There are many society who thinks *** before marriage is sin,even today.

 

[OMGitsShakra]

Yesterday 2 threads were made one stated sin does not exist, and the other stated good and bad is up to interpretation this does not really exist. Do any of you actually believe these claims? If so it's no wonder the world is getting more and more immoral.

Philosophically, good and bad are subjective to ones pov. Sin is manmade, and just a worst way of saying someone did something bad. Society has set a standard for right and wrong, but that doesn't mean thats "truly" whats right and wrong. According to society, being gay is wrong. Some people think its wrong, others dont. Whose right and whose wrong? Neither are right or wrong. Everyone is entitled to their own viewpoints and opinions, but that doesn't decide whether being gay is right or wrong and you will never change some peoples opinion on it.

Without chaos, you don't know order and vice versa. We, as a society and as a population that has ethics (though i believe animals have a set of ethics and morals too, we just may never see/know it because we all think we are better and smarter) have made a list of "right and wrong" based on what certain individuals thought was right and wrong and also got ques for this from religious texts. There is nothing wrong with this, but you cannot say that everyone thinks the same way. If someone raped my child, i would think chopping off their balls and having the person suffocate on them is an appropriate punishment. However, someone else may think thats cruel. Well whose right and whose wrong?

 

[wanderingcactus]

The basis for sins and immorality is that things are done out of desires. It isnt a necessity. You kill to eat so you live vs you kill because you were craving steak or something are two different reasons that drove us into preforming that action.
Like killing due to self defense or invading a territory because they have something you need like water is not a sin.
Massacring the masses because they disagree with you and invading other countries because they have oil, gold, or something that a person doesnt need to survive (currency and materials) is a sin

 

[Ldude]

Somewhat agree with moral nihilism. At the very least morality is very subjective.
