@Tsar Gatto My CS is already ready. I was the first one to be ready! Still am.

D&D: An Adventure in the Making

@Game Maker What about the permanent modifiers? You get them in game right? Can't just say that....my character found, let's say 7 of them in his travels...?

Myriad Reality

For that imaginary scenario I had planned to allow you only 2 routes. Either help him and get fired or don't help him, he is fired and later on he commits suicide. Since you stated:"If I'm struggling to finish it myself, I refuse" then we'll go with the latter conclusion. I know this is extreme but please bare with me. Are you called evil for doing that even if you didn't know the consequences? One way or another, you hypothetical actions indirectly caused that person's demise.

When I attacked the term I thought it was all that you meant by using it, and that was the point of your second argument after establishing what evil is in your views. But living only for yourself can not be considered evil. You may choose to not interact with others. You neither help anyone nor cause anyone harm. And the lies you may say to preserve this way of living may not cause any harm. But that raises the question, is not helping someone in need considered to be evil and immoral? What responsibility do you have to help that person? His problems are his own and even if you lose nothing by helping him you have no duty to do so.

Now getting back to evil. Evil is subjective same as morality. It can be and has been defined by various cultures/religions and people but in the end, at its root it is subjective. It is left for the person to decide what truly can be called evil. So if you call killing in self defense not evil, someone else calls it so. They call all killing evil and would rather die than perform the action for whatever reason. They call the act itself immoral. And that is the point with hell. Everyone who has done something evil goes there but evil by whose standards? Does anyone have the power to set those boundaries between evil and good? You can set them for yourself and to others in your own head but are you truly right with them?

So who goes to hell, what standards and moral codes set by which person should be followed to go to hell? Does some amoral psychopath or autistic person who has killed countless people and performed countless crimes for immoral reasons, as seen by you, go to hell? He himself sees nothing wrong with those actions because he has no concept of right or wrong. Does he go to hell? Who is to decide?

Myriad Reality

Forgive my blatancy but that is totally wrong. Not everyone is driven by the need to stand above others, to be superior than those around them. While selfishness is a part of humanity, self righteousness isn't. There are a lot of people who feel like that but far from every human.

Will you indulge me with this imaginary scenario?

"You just got accepted to work for a company. Your life has been going very bad until the news came that you got the job. You need this job. Now, you have one of your coworkers come to you asking for help. He wants you to fix and better his project for him for the upcoming presentation. He got the job through connections but his lack of skill has sent him close to being fired. Either you helped him at first or not, he will always come to you for help. You have to sacrifice some of your work quality to help him. He begs you and says that his life depends on this job. What do you do? Risk your own job to help him or ignore him?"

Myriad Reality

That is... so basically every human is born evil because every human, at one point in their life has done something selfish, however small and minuscule it may have been. But that is just the way of the world, so in one word the world is evil?

That is a very broad categorization of evil. You can't just call the way nature works evil. Putting yourself before others is survival at its basics. So survival is evil?

Myriad Reality

Not towards evil per say, but towards selfishness and putting self interest above the need of others which is only natural. You see it in nature all the time, survival of the fittest. But there are those who constantly ruin others without getting any material value out of it besides happiness. They are the true evil.

Myriad Reality

@Meta In my honest unqualified opinion, if you at least have 1 person left who cares for you, wanting to die is a selfish fcken thought and you really deserve hell for being that selfish.

Myriad Reality

I still don't understand the "I want to die" mentality. Even if you are living in the streets begging for money, there are a lot who do that, and they still want to live. Logically its stupid. I mean damn, what hormone causes that desire to die?

Olympus: School Of Demigods!

Me2, haven't read the other cs past which pets they have. And I stopped even reading that after the 5th or 6th pegasus in a row.

We need more Archons/gods! (an Otherworlds Story)

LOL, a captain definitely wouldn't have divine protection but a Pharaoh on the other hand would.
