honest to goodness ka ba?

[angelo]

hmm. so goodness is relative? morality is relative?

oo naman.. hindi ba?

[pinoybrusko]

The same lang the way I see it.

In Islam, if you are not a Muslim, you are not saved.

In Christianity, if you do not accept Jesus as savior, that is, if you are not a Christian, you are not saved.

Am I incorrect?

nope tama ka hehehe

What is "goodness"? When is something considered good, and what makes it good?

depende sa situation and intention. the word is relative 

[carpediem]

Hmm... if morality is relative, then I could do all the bad/evil things that I want and no one should interfere because after all, it is relative.

To say that it's relative could be another definition of "goodness". One that is personal, and possibly selfish.

I'd like to think that "goodness" comes from its roots in society where ethics apply. Actions that fall in the spectrum of beneficence and non-maleficence.

totoo.. you can kill a person because you think it is good - like saving a another life or to that effect but to the family of the supposed "victim" isang masamang gawain iyon at pinatay mo yung beloved nila..

yes it is relative. but we all have norms to follow. and at the end of the day, ang habol natin ay common good

yes

i don't know, but i'm thinking that to some extent, there is something absolute in morality... different people of different world views seems to agree on some unseen contracts about life in general so as to make an elusive stride from chaos. goodness seem to have a common denominator -- and that's where i see being absolute would fit in.

Is goodness and morality from God?

[pinoybrusko]

Is goodness and morality from God?

I think no, kasi we are given free will, right? nasa tao na iyon kung he/she decides to be good or not, to practice morality or not.

The things that came from God are our life, mountains and seas, skies, other living things like animals, insect, plants and trees, etc.

@pb: I think most Christians would not agree with you when you said goodness and morality is not from God.

@pb: I think most Christians would not agree with you when you said goodness and morality is not from God.

yeah you are right, but it is my opinion only. If everything came from God, that includes evil and bad things too  that's why I don't agree on this specific issue.
