[QUOTE="3catcircus, post: 7980425, member: 16077"] But, it does. Native American cultures in the Eastern portions of the US and Canada would torture captives taken in battle. To them, it wasn't evil. White people killing buffalo just for the trophy and not otherwise using the animal - definitely evil because it was a wasteful slap in the face to the creator deities who provided the animal for people. Societal and historical differences impact one's views of what constitutes good and evil more than any other factor. There may be similarities across cultures - almost all human cultures consider murder to be evil. But killing those people from that other tribe who aren't our tribe isn't murder for a lot of cultures. Eating ones dead ancestors or vanquished enemies is sacred in some cultures, others consider cannibalism to be evil. Putting to death slaves too old to work isn't evil in some cultures that consider slavery not to be evil. Other cultures who don't consider slavery to be evil would consider killing their old slaves because they're now an inconvenience to be evil. [/QUOTE]
