Are Good and Evil Objective?

Off Topic
26

Can you split the topic into 2 things so they can have their argument somewhere else?

27

still doesn’t make it objectively justify anything

lets say someone worships god “A”
god A’s religion calls for you to murder disbelievers to be righteous
everyone who worships god “B” absolutely despises this
god B’s followers therefore believe god A’s followers are evil, and vice versa

both of these could easily consider the other evil, evil isn’t mutually exclusive

@archrono opinions can be incorrect, actually

rep isn’t an indicator or good or bad intentions or good or bad hearted

If youre a “good” npc then why would you ever wanna be friends with a “bad” npc, same for players and npc interactions. If you dont agree with killing multiple people for no reason then why would you ever be friendly towards them

Yes I’m doing that now

Opinions are subjective, meaning there is no right or wrong. Only disagreement and agreement based on the general public and your own opinion.

I was asking why would the general opinion of npcs affect what abilities you can do with your weapon since, as we all know, it’s just subjective and an opinion, but it doesn’t matter anymore since you changed the description of these skills

Well actually If God didnt exist, moral values would be subjective. But I will not say anything else about this cause I think talking about religion is banned on this forum lol

34

both of these are subjective

35

religion is subjective too

36

Lol no

37

how is it not subjective?

38

Yes, basically everything that has been established within our conscience and cultural ideas are subjective.

I cant really talk about it because it goes against the rules of the forum

40

then dm me

41

nah its subjective

you could easily view slave supporters viewing free slaves as evil

angels as evil, Olympian gods as evil. etc

I won’t get religious this time bc my outburst was the reason why pip_zog’s god question got shut down

Evil does exist. Yes it’s subjective to a degree and everyone has their opinions on what is evil and what isn’t, what is good and what isn’t, but in the words of dragon himself:

So here’s an example: Going on a killing spree irl is viewed as malevolent and destructive by the majority of the population (and rightfully so). I absolutely cannot see how that can’t be labeled as evil, even if their intentions are “noble” such as “THE hUmAn PopUlaTioN IS tOO bIG aNd IS tEaRing THROUGh THE eaRth’s RESourCes, i Am SAViNG THe EArtH BY kiLLin G ThEm aLL” (yes I know this is an actual issue but that’s for another topic)

Perhaps i’m just further proving your point that good and evil are subjective, but the way I see things, there is a right and wrong. I’m not just going to fuck someone over just bc I can and then call myself “good”…but there are people in the world who do that and I DON’T understand them. And I never will.

It depends on perspective, someone could be a hero in one story but the villain in another.

I mean, what makes the massacre of locusts not evil while doing the same to humans is? What? The locusts are pests? Yes, well, have you seen what humans have done?
