it wouldn't be their ignorance that makes them good You didn't say "ignorance"; you said "mistaken". "My point was a basicaly good person can mistaken on what is evil. I would call someone an evil person if they habitually and knowingly commit evil." I would think that "mistakes" translate into a lack of perfect knowledge, or a defect in absolute awareness or intelligence. A BASICALLY good person (according to you) can commit evil but still be "good" because the intent or intellect was not there. This is totally contrary to philosophical and theological teachings of absolutism. You are speaking of relativism. ABSOLUTE is not conditional to your interpretation. It preceeds and superceeds your ideas, feelings, and conceits... Absolutism means that all actions are absolutely right or wrong, better or worse. What person do you know who never committed a "good" or a "bad" act?? Then why do you call the people "good" or "bad"? Do you use an abacus??
