You can only define evil for yourself IMHO
What a Christian calls evil, I might well hold dear.
To one person Hitler was evil, to others a visionary, it's all very subjective.
The only evil that needs addressing is robbing children of their innocence, the rest of us are big enough to deal with our own evils.
But then again that is only my opinion

I could corner you all night over your ridiculous notion of morality but I think it's clear you aren't man enough to admit you are wrong. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...

You're going to make yourself look a tad daft at this rate my friend
My kids are Jewish I've written about it here on many an occasion.
I merely stated
To one person Hitler was evil, to others a visionary,
That is a fact and no reflection on my personal morality.
Just saying

You have no idea of my notion of morality my friend
But feel free to try.
And trust me when I say, when I am wrong I'm man enough to admit it.
I stand by my 9 years here and my record, feel free to read through my 9300 posts and find out for yourself.

The issue is you misreading my first post and now trying to look clever my friend.
I would suggest you address that first then we can debate
Are YOU man enough to admit that YOU are wrong ?

Tell me why morality is relative and hitler wasn't necessarily wrong, but violating innocence is inherently morally objectionable. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...

The term “morality” can be used either
1.descriptively to refer to some codes of conduct put forward by a society or, a.some other group, such as a religion, or
b.accepted by an individual for her own behavior or
2.normatively to refer to a code of conduct that, given specified conditions, would be put forward by all rational persons
the rest of us are big enough to deal with our own evils. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Morality is relative as it depends upon the way we are brought up, and the belief system installed in us, I'd have thought that much was obvious.

Hence my morality is based on my life experience, Hitler's moralities were based on his and your's are based on your's.
It doesn't make you more correct than me, or I you.
The destruction of a child's innocence is evil, that's what I believe as previously stated
the rest of us are big enough to deal with our own evils. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...
