Besides human intervention to the obvious i cant help but wondering if there is such a thing as 'good and evil'. I no longer know whether they are divine concepts that are integral of themselves or if they are simply ideas conjured up by the human mind. For example if i were to murder somebody the punishments i would face would not be outside of humanity.
Oh i would still be tried by the law and sentenced by my own kin but outside of that i would feel no wrath of god or divine rapture for my deeds other than that judgement handed to me by my species. However many religionists would argue that the divine punishment is enacted through humans and in this i guess they are right. If indeed they are right about a supreme being and that i will be judged in an eternal afterlife. There is always the potential for error in matters of considering the transcendental situations of death..In my theories i may also be wrong and i acknowledge this. But if others are wrong about an afterlife. If the cynics are right and an unending oblivion truly does await us then what reason is there for good or evil if everything ends up the same, dead and screaming in a dark void of absolution?
