Re: Ah yeah, the ol' shit from shinola theory of good and evil

What exactly does hope, courage or service have to do with justifying evil?  You may not be in the shit business, but I am surely seeing an abundance of shinola when you try to justify wrongs as being necessary in order to have right.  That is a false construct that people have bought into because their religious leaders have tried to justify the existence of sin.  That works for me about as well as the concept of an all powerful and inerrant God who was so perfect that He created a world so imperfect that He had to wipe it all out with a big flood and start all over again.  Some myths die hard. The concept of the necessity of evil is obviously one of them.
