To SalviniaD in particular: oh I'd love to see a theory or idea THAT SPARKLES BRIGHTLY WITH LOGIC! : ) I wish!

Don't ever see too many of them around anywhere much though, that's for sure.

...My original post was spurred by something I was watching, and I just wanted to know what thoughts others had about the broadest consideration of the subject. It was a very broad generality I was thinking about and I didn't really have any specific position or idea in mind myself, but I did want to see what people thought about 'evil,' 'good/bad' and whether or not people had fixed conceptions of 'evil.'

I was wondering whether less dogmatic people - or let's say more avant garde thinkers - have any novel conceptions or insights that they have been able to draw from more diverse sources than the common and obvious ones.

100,000 years of philosophy on the subject and you think you're going to find something new on Lit?

Yep. (I wuz only going to write 'yep' but it said that message was too short.)

Why don't the religious ever try to explain why Yahweh makes good things happen to bad people?

That's just as unfair as bad things happening to good people.

Same reason, backwards.

Atheism is not a religion or a specific philosophy so there is not one collective answer to your questions.

This.
