Does a good deed done by an evil person become evil?

@Suzianne said
As you might already know, this is merely hypocrisy, another moral failing.

Yes, and?

@Suzianne said
And this is why you fail.

Truth is constrained by reality a fluxuating point of view is always missing the mark or it would not have change.

I agree, so good and evil are stand-alone things apart from people; we can do both. We can be the attacker, the attacked, or a witness, active or passive.

And normally following an agenda, such as calling evil good, or alternatively, calling good evil, in order to confuse men. This is opinion, as much as you like to insist that your way is God's way. Forum posts, however, are divided by subject, and this belongs in Spirituality.

Or are you one of these people seen* on street corners, preaching a sermon that people would ordinarily have to go to their church to hear, so that you can force it into the ears of those who would normally choose not to hear it?


* 'Seen' is the key here. Just as those who prefer they work their alms and prayer before men (so they may be seen), rather than seeking out their deity privately in humble prayer.

If something is true, is it only true in one place, or everywhere when it is true? Opinions my vary about any thing but truth is always a reflection of reality as is.

Except you constantly conflate 'your truth' with 'God's truth'.

@KellyJay said
Every post here people who open and read will always be subject to the posts themselves. You think something is wrong about that?

When you purposely post in the wrong forum because you seek to 'reach more people' with your anti-social behavior, yes, I think it is against normal forum behavior.

Do you think anything that is not is true, is part of reality? Maybe if you define truth by what you think, but that is not truth that is your opinion. Opinions can be right or wrong, unless you think you are the exception where what you think is always right and true.

Normal forum etiquette, dude.

"Post in the correct forum." If you don't, you are grandstanding and forcing people who wouldn't normally read your musings (judgements?) to read them.

please explain how you are "forced" to read anything here?

I posted something that the following conversation brought up that topic for me. But from here on out someone else will have to bring that up. Is it your desire to keep that conversation going?

You want to talk about God?

@Suzianne said
You speak like a Calvinist.

Religion is not (or shouldn't be) about punishment.

It is about the Good News (each religion has their own version of this) and the way to a better, more abundant life in the here and now. It is NOT about judging and punishing those who you feel do not conform. That is the way of evil.

more abundant life in the here and now.

The here and now is Satan's world. Your own desires.

Your eternal salvation is what Jesus preached. Or your eternal damnation.

It is possible to discuss morality without God, though, I admit, not for KellyJay.

Yes, it is possible, but seems rather confining to me. Can you describe where you think that this "morality" comes from? How about love? etc?
though, I admit, not for KellyJay.
It's not easy for I either.

I do not under your question, where morality comes from. Where does physics come from? Where does zoology come from? Where does cartography come from? Nothing useful or even moderately enlightening would constitute an answer to such questions.

Where do Porsches come from? I can answer you that. The company headquarters is in Stuttgart.

This was in danger of becoming an interesting talking point, until you (inevitably) introduced your god into the discussion. Any judgement upon any action should not be based upon love or hatred of anything or anybody, but from a position of neutrality.

I see the danger as personal presences being past off as an enlighten standards, that justifies everything one wants to call right and the proper way of behave.
