A good reason for evil?

Post #1

Post by FinalEnigma »

Another poster used this argument-
Our moral sense comes from the knowledge of good and evil. We would not want to lose evil because of this.
to show why we need evil to be in the world.

I argue that it would be idiocy to desire for evil to be in the world for the sole purpose of being able to discern good and evil, and I for one, would happily give up my sense of morality to remove all evil from the world.

Bear in mind all the evil in the world. rape, murder, thievery, child abuse, racism, bigamy...and on and on.and also keep in mind, that if you did give up your morality to remove all evil from the world...you wouldn't need morality anyway because there would be no evil.

You could not know. You could not recognize it.
