Loosing Faith in Goodness

[Sweetpickle (imported)]

Goodness is doing OK, and lots of people practice it.

What's changed is that the stigma has mostly been

removed from doing evil.

Many kids seem to be taught that what used to be

wrong is OK if nobody gets caught. But I think the

evil doers are creating their own punishment.

Having discussed this with friends, I find the word evil, turns some good people off.

They suggest evil should be reserved for Hitler and child molesters and such.

So I ask; if it is not evil when one makes the decision they know is left / sinister of their moral north,

what is it?

Answering on Sweetpickle's post:

Moral relativity (http://xkcd.com/103/")

Moral Relativity...

Now there's a term that is thrown around a LOT today.

The only good thing about MORAL RELATIVITY is that it IS a type of morality.

The PROBLEM is that SCHOOLS of BUSINESS in AMERICA DO NOT TEACH ETHICS... So can we term this practice MORAL IRRELEVANCY?
