Good and evil are subjective. What is seen as good today may be bad tomorrow.If I murder my neighbor am I good? If not, why is God "murdering" all life on Earth except Noah, his family, and some animals "good?"
Am I good if I murder someone who doesn't believe in my ideas of God? If not, why is God commanding the deaths of those who don't conform to his particular religion good?
Am I good if I refrain from doing work or leaving my home once a week? Is God good if he command sthe death for anyone who doesn't?
God isn't good. Rather we perpetuate the belief he is because no one's likely to follow a god of "evil."
Wouldn't agree. Good is always good being something people like or want, whereas evil is always evil because no one's happy when those things befall them.
Would agree though good and evil don't exist as much as do actions and consequences. Reason being many things one person may enjoy or desire may not be desired by another. Thus good and evil are relative but not objectively real.
Is a soldier like the Kyle guy "good" after killing however people he did? If so, why's a "terrorist" not-good for killing even fewer? That best illustrates the relative nature of good and evil. And also how killing is never good because no one wnats you to kill them. No one sane at any rate.
