Is the knowledge of good and evil, good or evil?

Is the knowledge of good and evil, good or evil?

For you, me, and Adam to answer this question; we need the knowledge of good and evil.

Adam may have needed what he was denied by Yahweh to know if the tree of the knowledge of all things, is good or evil to eat from. As scriptures say, he was mentally and morally blind without it.

You and I cannot see any better than Adam could when our mental eyes are blind on issues and without knowledge of them.

It seems that Yahweh put Adam in a catch 22. Damned to being mentally blind and as bright as a brick and unable to reproduce or condemned to death if he educated himself.

Neither good nor evil exists outside of the mind of man
Good exists. Evil doesn’t.

Do hot and cold exist outside the mind of man?

What about light and darkness?

There is no physical quantification of good or evil.

When there is a thermometer that can measure the evil in the air let me know.
Does cold exist? Does darkness exist?

Yes and they can be quantified

When you can measure "evil" let me know.

WHat would one unit of evil be called do you think?

Maybe we should call it a Satan or a Lucifer.

So tell me how many Lucifers must be present in the air for a murder to be committed?
So cold does not exist. Only heat exists. Darkness does not exist. Only light exists.'

Cold is the absence of heat and darkness is the absence of light.

Evil doesn't exist either. Evil is the absence of good.

Unfairness doesn't exist. Unfairness is the absence of fairness.

G-d said evil exists,
you weren't consulted.

Creation is not bound by the limits of dulaistic human logic.

The epitome of human corruption - when man willfully denies his evil potential.
Everything God created is good.

And yet G-d calls man's heart evil.

Who are you to argue?
God said everything he created is good. It's the first thing you were told.

Man has a choice to do good or not do good. The problem comes when he doesn't do good and fails to admit it and learn from his mistakes.
Which is contradicted by modern neuroscience.
Show me how modern neuroscience contradicts that man doesn't rationalize doing wrong as right?

There is no absolute right and wrong.

Both are merely value judgements. Those value judgements have become part of many cultures because they prove to make survival easier not because there is some metaphysical thing called good or evil
 
Man's inclination is for good not evil.

G-d says otherwise.

Write a letter to your congressman.
Did God create evil?

Yes, and gave humanity the freedom to choose.
How many times will you be asking the same question?
So does God contain evil? Where did God get this evil from to create evil?

What do you mean, where did he get it from?
Everything God created is good because God is good. The goodness proceeds from God. How was God able to create evil if his nature does not contain evil?

If god created everything he also created evil if you believe evil exists you must credit god for it.
Except evil is not extant. It does not exist. Evil is the absence of good. Good exists.

Go make your argument to those who think God created evil. I'm not the droid you are looking for.

Good like evil does not exist anywhere but in the minds of men.

Good is not a thing that exists in the physical world
Does fair exist?

Does right and wrong exist?

no.

Fair is an idea, a hope not a thing.

Once again it is a value judgement made up by men and not only that it means different things to different people.

Right and wrong are like good and evil, subjective
Thank you for literally proving my signature line.


Socialism intentionally denies examination because it is irrational. There is no formal defined dogma of socialism. Instead there is only a vague, rosy notion of something good, noble and just: the advent of these things will bring instant euphoria and a social order beyond reproach. Socialism seeks equality through uniformity and communal ownership Socialism has an extraordinary ability to incite and inflame its adherents and inspire social movements. Socialists dismiss their defeats and ignore their incongruities. They desire big government and use big government to implement their morally relativistic social policies. Socialism is a religion. The religious nature of socialism explains their hostility towards traditional religions which is that of one rival religion over another. Their dogma is based on materialism, primitive instincts, atheism and the deification of man. They see no distinction between good and evil, no morality or any other kind of value, save pleasure. They practice moral relativity, indiscriminate indiscriminateness, multiculturalism, cultural Marxism and normalization of deviance. They worship science but are the first to reject it when it suits their purposes. They can be identified by an external locus of control. Their religious doctrine is abolition of private property, abolition of family, abolition of religion and equality via uniformity and communal ownership. They practice critical theory which is the Cultural Marxist theory to criticize what they do not believe to arrive at what they do believe without ever having to examine what they believe. They confuse critical theory for critical thinking. Critical thinking is the practice of challenging what one does believe to test its validity. Something they never do.
I am not a socialist.

you might want to look up the definition.

I am not deifying people. In fact I have compared humans to other animals in many of these discussions.

Animals are neither good nor evil.

That in no way means I cannot decide what I think is acceptable and unacceptable behaviors.
I believe you are well on your way to becoming one. You are certainly already a dupe of theirs.

It was for good reason that Karl Marx said communism is naturalized humanism.

I disagree.

If you rape a child you are not a good person
I thought you said good doesn't exist.

Aren't you making a value judgement here?
it only exists as a value judgement.

And since people have different values their value judgements will be different.

if good existed as a thing then everyone would see it as the same thing like they would see a rock.
So then you must believe that a person who rapes a child isn't good or evil, right?

Because you don't believe that good exists in actuality.

No i am free to make value judgements on the behavior of others.

But my value judgements may not be the value judgements of another person hence my statement that good and evil are subjective things and as such do not exist in the physical world

Neither good nor evil exists outside of the mind of man
Good exists. Evil doesn’t.

Do hot and cold exist outside the mind of man?

What about light and darkness?

There is no physical quantification of good or evil.

When there is a thermometer that can measure the evil in the air let me know.
Does cold exist? Does darkness exist?

Yes and they can be quantified

When you can measure "evil" let me know.

WHat would one unit of evil be called do you think?

Maybe we should call it a Satan or a Lucifer.

So tell me how many Lucifers must be present in the air for a murder to be committed?
So cold does not exist. Only heat exists. Darkness does not exist. Only light exists.'

Cold is the absence of heat and darkness is the absence of light.

Evil doesn't exist either. Evil is the absence of good.

Unfairness doesn't exist. Unfairness is the absence of fairness.

G-d said evil exists,
you weren't consulted.

Creation is not bound by the limits of dulaistic human logic.

The epitome of human corruption - when man willfully denies his evil potential.
Everything God created is good.

And yet G-d calls man's heart evil.

Who are you to argue?
God said everything he created is good. It's the first thing you were told.

Man has a choice to do good or not do good. The problem comes when he doesn't do good and fails to admit it and learn from his mistakes.
Which is contradicted by modern neuroscience.
Show me how modern neuroscience contradicts that man doesn't rationalize doing wrong as right?

There is no absolute right and wrong.

Both are merely value judgements. Those value judgements have become part of many cultures because they prove to make survival easier not because there is some metaphysical thing called good or evil
Just pain and pleasure. If you can get away with pleasure without the pain that would be great, right?

So there would be nothing wrong with harming others for your gain, right?

These are your logical conclusions.

I never said just pain and pleasure. People who choose to live together in a cooperative society have to agree on what behaviors are allowed and disallowed in their society.

A society can certainly believe sacrificing people on the altar of some god is perfectly acceptable. I'll even go so far as to say that if any of us were raised in such a society that we too would believe it to be acceptable.
If all there are are opinions then the only thing that is real is pain and pleasure.

No there are as many things as there are opinions.

There are those who believe mortification of the flesh to be a necessary component of worship.

So to them pain is the means they derive pleasure in serving their god.
 
It is morality which separates us from wild animals. Atheists see no higher meaning or purpose to humans. We are just animals. So there is nothing wrong with behaving like an animal.
 
Is the knowledge of good and evil, good or evil?

For you, me, and Adam to answer this question; we need the knowledge of good and evil.

Adam may have needed what he was denied by Yahweh to know if the tree of the knowledge of all things, is good or evil to eat from. As scriptures say, he was mentally and morally blind without it.

You and I cannot see any better than Adam could when our mental eyes are blind on issues and without knowledge of them.

So the serial killer is "good"?

The rapist, the thief the pederast are all "good"

Sometimes, bad people do good things, and good people do bad things.

I disagree.

If you rape a child you are not a good person
I thought you said good doesn't exist.

Aren't you making a value judgement here?
it only exists as a value judgement.

And since people have different values their value judgements will be different.

if good existed as a thing then everyone would see it as the same thing like they would see a rock.
So then you must believe that a person who rapes a child isn't good or evil, right?

Because you don't believe that good exists in actuality.

No i am free to make value judgements on the behavior of others.

But my value judgements may not be the value judgements of another person hence my statement that good and evil are subjective things and as such do not exist in the physical world
But they are just opinions, right? They aren't any better than mine, right. I could enter your home, do what I want and there wouldn't be anything morally wrong with that, right?

As long as I could control you physically, I could do anything I wanted and you really couldn't make a moral argument against what I did, right?

Moral is another value judgement.

My judgement on you breaking into my home is that you are one who means to do me harm so I will shoot you.

And again I can make my own personal judgements as to your behavior.
Sure, but if I subdue you and have my way with whatever I want, you have no moral high ground because morals to you are just opinions. There's no authority behind them at all. Just the rule of capture. Sort of like a lion taking a gazelle.

If you are able to subdue me completely and do me harm what good is my moral judgement in that situation?


It is meaningless.

No we just have an ability to think differently than animals.

Humans do not have instincts in the way animals do which is why our behavior is so malleable.

Yep. And you have no moral high ground to argue that what I did was wrong. I'm just an animal taking from another animal. Right?

No we just have an ability to think differently than animals.

Humans do not have instincts in the way animals do which is why our behavior is so malleable.
So now you are arguing I shouldn't behave like an animal. Which is it? Am I wrong if I use force against you for my gain?

I do not believe I have the right to harm another person in any way.

In fact I stopped eating meat because I don't want to be responsible for the large scale suffering of animals.

That is my choice, my judgement, not some overriding absolute moral code becase such a thing does not exist outside of what is agreed upon by the members of a society
