How to determine good from evil?
Question asked by: mtalaisa
Asked on: 16 Mar 2010
It is quite easy to determine good from evil.
The best way to do this is to describe an action then ask a range of people if they think it is good or evil. If there is a consensus either way then that act is described by humans as either good or evil. If no consensus then it is more debatable.
If you subscribe to a particular moral code or set of laws of morality then you can simply check an action as to whether it reinforces or goes against that morality system or ethics in order to assess whether something is good or evil.
