Can someone be inherently evil?

Who says 2 + 2 = 4?

As another example: there's always going to be someone that says the moon is made of cheese, but the general consensus is that it is made of silicates. Does that one person's concept mean the moon can't exist?

Of course, not everyone is ever going to agree on anything. To say that nothing can exist because of such disagreements is beyond absurd.

That being said, as far as I'm concerned, my statement is correct. Something is not wrong unless it impacts another in a negative way, and something is not right unless it impacts another in a positive way. If something falls into both (or neither) categories, then it isn't necessarily one or the other.

Hitler's politics and tests on humans were the foundation of many medicines we have today, does that make it good? It sure saved more lives than he killed.

Then why do anything?

If nothing matters then having fun doesn't matter.

[Regulus]

Because you realize that it *does* matter.

[Regulus]

Obviously not, and you proved that point for me with the first 2 of your past 3 posts here.

What you mean to say is, you find enjoyment of life to be meaningful.

[Regulus]

But, the question is, do you value enjoying yourself? If so, that means enjoying yourself has meaning. It does matter.

Exactly. But you're not the only person in the world. That's where morality and its significance starts to come in.
