Re: The fallacy of "good and evil"
I understand what you guys are saying...but I am very concerned about highly unethical behavior which gets completely missed...and which sometimes results in millions of people dying horrible deaths. This can be known as creeping compromise. I met Joseph Fletcher, the author of 'Situation Ethics', in the late 80's. This book caused a major uproar in the Christian community when it was published in the late 60's. He told me, in essence, that Christianity was bs. Bishop James Pike was another controversial proponent of situation ethics. He vigorously opposed the Viet Nam War from the pulpit at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. I believe in situation ethics...and I also believe in the words of Jesus. Situation ethics should be used to sharpen, rather than blur, ethical discernment. Ethics at the Dulce Deep Underground Military Base is a Grey Area...
