BBL, Good and Evil are simply concepts needed to make a tribe/society work. They are not a necessary component of existance and they're awfully fluid.

To Romans, bankruptcy was evil. If you declared yourself bankrupt, your creditors could either have you sold into slavery or executed.

Under the Code of Hammurabi, entrapment was an evil that was punishable by death (so... cops couldn't do a "sting" operation) In fact, there were lots of things that you could be put to death for under the Code of Hammurabi

In America, the New York Colony instituted the Duke's Laws of 1665. Under these laws, offenses such as striking one's mother or father, or denying the "true God," were punishable by death. www.deathpenaltyinfo.org...[/ur l]

Don't like your parents? Fight with them? That's considered worthy of the death penalty (and so is adultery and getting pregnant without benefit of marriage): [url=http://members.aol.com/timgore/teenstone.htm]http://members.aol.com/timgore/teenstone.htm

What's "evil" to an amoeba? Before the advent of whaling, what was "evil" to a whale? What's evil to Koko the gorilla? What's evil to a wolf?

Before the advent of marriage laws (1000 AD or so), was it evil to live together and not be married -- because after marriage became law, it was evil to live with someone "without benefit of marriage."

We now consider slavery to be evil -- but in earlier times it wasn't considered evil. Is it?

What's evil?
