Don't even try and start that. We judge evil on what we believe to be wrong, not on what your silly book says is wrong. I don't think abortion is wrong for instance. Where as, selling your daughter, that is wrong. Funny how your good moral book says that is right ain't it?

Common sense...or do you need your magical book to decide what's wrong and right for you?
