Is killing something Good an inherently Evil act?

[QUOTE="Seeten, post: 2217831, member: 27186"] I think 2 people can both consider what they do to be [GOOD], Justify their actions before a tribunal, and yet still have opposing aims. I see alignment as more grey and amorphous than the RAW does in the beginning, and I am more than willing to subscribe to the idea that someone somewhere is willing to empower their ideals. As per your "Divine" spells must come from the "Gods" I call rubbish on this statement. I dont subscribe to Paladins must follow a God anymore than the RAW does. It might be the standard, but it is not defacto, or it would be stated in the RAW as such. In fact, they went out of their way to pull such references. In real life, I am a humanist, and something of an agnostic. I believe in the divinity of the human spirit, and I believe there is enough divine power for the human spirit to tap into which is generated by humanity itself. Ur-Priests can cast divine spells without a Patron deity, so it is obviously not impossible, even by the RAW. I see no reason why Paladins cannot do likewise, being as the RAW supports my belief at least as much as it supports yours, and doesnt so much as mention the term God anywhere in the Paladin description. Furthermore, I do believe this is central to KM's setting working as described, for Paladins, because I sure wouldnt let a LG Paladin of "Good god" kill "Good god"s followers. Thats just silly.
