Regardless of whether you see humans as distinctively separate from nature, the fact that good and evil are exclusively applicable by humans to humans does not make them subjective.

I would submit, it makes them totally subjective:
as pointed out, "evil" to one, can easily be "good" to another. ergo, subject to interpretation and perspective.

Some people pursue evil purposefully, for pleasure or gain, acknowledging the evil of what they do while they do it. And some actions are always evil: cutting off the arms of small children, for example, in order to terrorize and enslave their mothers.

But, I do not like to recall such terrible realities, so, will yield the argument to avoid terrorizing myself.

I would like to submit, however, that good is also real, and has power in the world.

*minefield*

this entire thread is a minefield, the only comment i will make is to agree with everyone. well nearly everyone :D


oh and evil Always without fail is better dressed leading me to the belief that clothes are the source of all evil.

HELL EXPLAINED

BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT

The following is claimed to be an actual question given on a University of Arizona chemistry mid-term, and an actual answer turned in by a student.



The answer by this one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.



Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?



Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.



One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving, which is unlikely.. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.


Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.



This gives two possibilities:


1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct..... ....leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'

My theory of the Half-Moon.
Every time we look up at the moon, we notice which phase it's in. "Oh, it's a Full Moon", "it's a new Moon", "it's a crescent moon".
But in reailty, the moon is ALWAYS a half moon. We just can't see both halves from our perspective on Earth.

Toss this around a bit, see how it holds up.

ygmir may not have been the first person to steal and i am sure will not be the last, howver i find it cool using science and sex to prove conclusively hell has frozen over and god is overdue on the rapture. or the zombie apocolypse either or i'm not fussy anytime around the 10th september will be just perfect.
oh and if you are listening god God, i didn't mean the bad things i said.

god doesn't know when you are lieing right? also he doesn't read the small print does he, after all his eyes cant be that good at several thousand years old can they?

With you so far. Begs the question "Which side is made of cheese?"
My money's on the dark side. It's much cooler, the cheese keeps better. Man, I bet it's aged to perfection.
That's why our astronauts only landed on the light side. NASA knew they'd never come back once they got a taste of that moon cheese.
Think about it...
