The Fallacy of Good Intentions.

[ShahdagMountains]

Is it evil to do an action that results in unintended unpardonable consequences?

The concept of Good Intentions have existed since eons ago to debate on the morality of this question. The most recent version of this debate lies with Niccolò Machiavelli and Immanuel Kant. Both are well-respected figures that contributes to widespread applicable philosophies that constructs the current modern world; yet both are fundamentally distinctive.

Kantian thoughts discusses morality that constitutes the basic principles of the free modern world; Believing that the ends does not justify the means. Machiavellian thoughts are commonly studied by statesmen to earn power and control to govern;

Believing that the ultimate result should be achieved no matter the cost.

Machiavelli is anything but “highly regarded.” And Immanuel Kant's philosophy has nothing to do with “God's intentions.” The philosopher Kant considered it wise to believe in God, as this makes many things easier. But if he had heard the same mullah from Iran yesterday as I did, who said, “May God's mercy help us break the backbone of resistance to our regime,” he would probably have felt just as disgusted as I did at such an absurd inability to comprehend God in his most elementary attributes of “love and reason.” In the meantime, they have murdered thousands or even well over tens of thousands of people with backbone. Clearly, God is anything but thrilled when people murder people because they think they know what only he can know.
