You keep mentioning my "behaviour" on this forum to make your supposed 'point' about me not being a basically good person. I have not been talking about your "behaviour" on this forum. I have simply been taking your repeated assertion that you are "evil" at face value.
If you have something you acknowledge is good and you don't live up to it, are you good?

Originally posted by @kellyjayOK, so you don't think I am "good" because of our interactions. So what? Are you trying to establish your theory that everyone is "evil and wicked"? Are you trying to use me as an example?
... having dealt with you for years confirms my stance because
I have seen things from you that I would not call good.
Originally posted by @kellyjayI am a basically good person. Yes. Not perfect. Not flawless.. But basically good. Not evil. Not wicked. If you think you are evil, that's fine by me. If you think I am evil, that's also fine by me.

Originally posted by @fmfSo basically good, is still good in your view?

Isn't that saying you fall short, but you are okay with that?
Originally posted by @fmfNo, I wouldn't have mentioned it accept you said just ask those who know you.

I'm not attempting to paint you evil, I'm trying to show you what being good actually means
and from there I'm sorry to say will paint us all falling short, not just you me too.

Originally posted by @kellyjayI try not to fall short. I am not an "evil" person. I am not a "wicked" person. I am basically good. That's my answer to whodey's question. You're answer is - I take it - that you are NOT a basically good person. What a pity.
So basically good, is still good in your view?

others here for years. I don't have to think about your real life in the past or present to have
an opinion of you. What you claim, what you really were in the past has nothing to do with
this, you know that truth I don't. I can form an opinion it doesn't mean it is correct.
What I do know is that if there is some action we call good, and we don't do it we fall short
of being good. If there is some bad, evil, wicked action we know to be so and we do those
things we fall short of being good.
Falling short of good is NOT being good, good enough is just suggesting that if the scale
were 1-100 and only a 100 is good, you are okay as long as you score 98%. Grading
on a curve is accepting bad behavior as being good enough, for good.
Originally posted by @kellyjayPeople are basically good. I am basically good. Describe yourself as you see fit.

Originally posted by @kellyjayI am OK with you seeing me as evil and wicked based on our interactions on this message board.

Originally posted by @kellyjay98% good sounds like 'basically good'. People being flawed or imperfect does not make them "evil and wicked" as your religion has made you believe.

good into your standard not 'good' for it is to hard to live up too. A score of 98% maybe
enough for somethings, but not others, 98% means at least 2% you are not good. Breaking
the ...[text shortened]... e law, doing that and not killing someone doesn't mean you
are not wrong, for the wrong you do.

means that it is not a real standard of standard of good, it is instead, just what we can call
acceptable.
