I am not talking about a list that makes up girls. I'm talking about a list of things that, if you took one away you would no longer have a girl. Vagina would probably be on that list, but I guess these days that could be debated.  I don't need to know the entire list for the logic to work.
could you have good if you took away evil? the answer is no. you might have a great life where everyone loves you and everything is good by our definition, but if you were living that life you wouldn't have a concept of it being good. I challenge anyone to give an example of something that is defined within itself; without contrasting it against something else. |
Exactly - which is why I find the notion of God judging impossible. How would it judge? It would be every thing, every place, every time. The concepts of judging, the concepts of "good" and "evil" are applied by us. These are all subjective thoughts, nothing objective. (I've typed paragraphs concerning this in other threads).
As a sidenote to everyone: Let's try to keep hostility down. It's funny that we need this wake up call - I would have thought the maturity level would be much higher. Noone's notions are any better than anyone else's, and if you see someone that may need some further insight somewhere, don't play the elitist card and walk away. Simply address your ideas, and why you may disagree. Remember, we are all on the same level, despite what understanding we think we have about anything.
