POLITICAL ACTIVISTS CREED
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brushfires in people's minds" -Samuel Adams
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men
stand ready to do violence on their behalf."~George Orwell
does anyone have proof one way or another or is this another name-fest
seriously
What does this even mean? What does "situation, assessment and conclusion" have to do with anything?
The bottom line is that you're wrong. Nothing is black and white. Murder isn't always wrong. Stealing isn't always wrong. Nothing is universally good or evil. Everything is situation specific. Blanket labels are fundamentally flawed.

Not to mention Jesus. If you believe that the New Testament is historically accurate, then the virgin birth contradicts your premise.

But what if you were at a bar and a scantily clad woman was flirting with you all night so you took her home and engaged her in sexual intercourse and then half-way through she started screaming "rape!" Was your act evil? Were you wrong? Of course not. But it would still be rape if the b*tch decided to press the matter.
Do you get the concept or are you going to continue to accuse me of condoning toddler rape?
The same goes for murder. Would you agree that killing a person qualifies as murder? if you said "yes," then I would ask you if you think US soldiers are murderers for killing the guys shooting at them. You'd probably say no. So that proves that not all murder is wrong or evil.
Nothing is absolute. Everything has gray areas.

Would it be wrong to burn down a building used to make kiddie porn?
Would it be wrong to kidnap someone if it was for the purpose of saving their life?
That's just off the top of my head.
