Subjective to the individual person
Then how is it good?
Good is subjective
No absolute for good, or for anything, because God doesn't exist
Ive said that
If you do something against someone to benefit yourself, if you succeed, it's good. If you fail, it's bad.
Its a spectrum a graph there is always worse or better
Only with God can an act always be bad even if you don't get caught. Even if the entire world never knows about it.
If you succeed and they kill you its bad
That's not success
Go to jail, get killed, etc is all failure
Then you are speaking in absolutes
As it may not happen immediately
It is because it throws your future into increased uncertainty that it is bad
This is in addition to the harm you also caused the person
And if that uncertainty is unfounded, it's not bad
And that in many situations the same act on your self is bad
Harm to another person doesn't matter any more than smashing a bug
It is
Because it throws your future into more uncertainty
How is that anything to do with morals, though?
You're confusing risk with moral
Because my morals dont need god to work like those that are arbitrarily forcing their moral definition on me
Like what Ragnarok inferred, risk isn't morals
Turn it around, and use the Catholic Crusaders as an example, a misunderstood group of people that are often invoked here.
They had no reward. Some battles had a 90% casualty rate
To crusade you had to buy your own stuff. In modern terms, imagine some guy from France having to buy his own tank and get himself to the middle east to fight ISIS
By your logic, Ehzek, if someone committed mass murder, but through it became *successful*, does that mean they're in the right? That they're "morally" fine?
There was no salary
No benefits
Nothing but a realistic chance of death
Reference the graph
Were they wrong to do so?
It was good for society
It isnt good to force it but its a choice that can be made that is moral
How was it good?
Good for their society
It's essentially a complicated way of committing suicide
To further the good of the society by your own will
