I think that each person is right in their own way. There is never a single right answer to anything. If you believe that something is true, then it is, because you believe the other is false. Like, I believe that evolution is true, and creationism is not, whereas knox, you have the opposite view. You are correct that God created us because that is what you believe, and I am correct that we are all result of natural processes because that is what I believe. I'm not sure if that makes sense in the way I typed it, but it does to me. It's like, I don't believe in Hell, so I don't believe I can go there because it does not exist. You can't go somewhere that doesn't exist. Others do believe it exists, and since they do believe that it exists it automatically does. They could go there, because them believing it to exist causes it to exist. I think I'm delving more into philosophy now.
I don't believe that bopping rats should be an excepted method to cull them, but I have no issue bopping mice. I can't even answer that one myself, and I'm the one who has a problem with it! haha.
I suppose that is what gives me the most peace. I DO believe in a single, moral code - the Bible.
If two people can be right about opposite ideas, then either one of them is wrong or they are both wrong.
It is either right to cheat on a test or it isn't. If it is both right AND wrong at the same time, then can we apply this to rape or genocide? Can that be right just because the person committing the act BELIEVES it is right, because it is fulfilling their own desires of happiness and contentment?
I struggle with that philosophy. With no constant standard, who determines anything? And if left up to the individual to determine it themselves, then was Hitler wrong? He FULLY believed what he was doing was good.
