[QUOTE="JtotheAtothe..., post: 57212, member: 4666"] Existential philosophy involves a questioning of responsiblity. Are YOU actually carrying the weight of your moral judgements, or are you merely prescribing to a set book of rules, in which you remove yourself of carrying the burden of making moral calls and solicit only the book. As we all know, there exist many situtations which truly task us in our moral decision plotting; for example the classic, your village is attacked by murderers and you take your family and a few neighbors into hiding and you must remain completely silent to avoid revealing your location, but your newborn child begins to cry. Do you now muffle the child and end up suffocating it to death or you let it reveal your location to the murders? In either course, someone will die. This situation, although unlikely to occur in our cultivated lives, replicates itself into many other dramas in which we must commit evil for the sake of good; thus, drawing us to the breakdown of our rigid moral scales of good and evil. One cannot simply pursue the normally defined good to accomplish winning the love of god. If we undertake the Good, as defined by our moral codes, then we end up only working for our selfish interest of earning a place by God. Good requires responsiblity for one's decisions. Morality is relative to us and our world. We are organisms which adapt to an everchanging world, and our morality must adapt and suffer, as well. The question of asking the righteousness of the men of evil (Hitler and his many friends) is fairly normal? Perfectly normal, truly. And the answer is that in one sense these men are prefectly right in whatever they do and have done. And they are prefectly wrong in whathever they do and have done. However, just because we do not have a single and true scale of good and evil, does not mean that certain actions cannot be labeled good and evil anymore. What Hitler did in persecuting Jews was horrible. Hussein's killings were disgusting. Idi Amin's tortures, horrendous. US' war in Vietnam was murderous of itself and Vietnamese. Protestant's Salem Witch trials, {censored}ic. And so on. No group, regardless of how pure we purport ourselves can escape the wrath of good and evil. However, it is not even good and evil which everything categorizes into. It is war and peace, love and hate, the single and the group, an already shifting assortment. God, if there is such a thing, is an excuse more than often upon which to rest our responsiblities. How many times has religion itself used God as an argument to commit evil of death. God is just as tortured as we are by idiocy and folly. And the simple truth is that more than often, we are unwilling to accept the responsiblity for our existence. We love and hate god, for our love and hate. Few men and women can wrestle with a relative morality, accepting complete responsiblity of themselves. [/QUOTE]
