[QUOTE="Mithreander, post: 1114772, member: 13791"] I agree that the concept of good and evil tend to be ambiguous, and if you do not have a foundation for those aspects. I myself use what is the epitome of good for today (though rarely studied): the bible. [b]Proverbs 21:10[/b] The wicked man craves evil; his neighbor gets no mercy from him. [b]Matthew 22:34-40[/b] Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." [Of these, I only use the second as a guideline, for the first is not applicable in D&D (which causes me some problem). Jesus then explains that everyone is your neighbor in The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke10: 25-37)] Now, your discussions on the evil nature of man... well that is also discussed in the bible here: [b]Genesis 8:21[/b] The LORD smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done." I suppose all I'm saying is that with a perspective; it helps to use alignments, as they should be. [Wow, I'm SO glad I do not speak this disjointedly!] [/QUOTE]
