Description
Just a pic I did some time ago, with the intention of having a story behind it,... something about the nature of evil versus the basic social norms of society. Since only man decides what is good and evil, whatever he decides is normal behavior (like sacrificing prisoners or virgins to the Gods) isn't, by definition, evil.
But I got distracted somewhere along the way and this has been languishing in my temp file for months.

Offering someone up for sacrifice who has no wish to be sacrificed is murder and evil. There's no debating that. Offering someone up for sacrifice who is a willing sacrifice is morally wrong in my eyes, but no longer qualifies as murder and evil. I'd still be unhappy about it and try to stop it, but then it's my view on it at that point. Just as sex with someone is sex. Sex with someone unwilling is rape. Again, willingness vs evil. Yes, there are also things that fall into the gray area that are only evil based upon someone's perception. Things become situational on whether they're evil or not. But there are things that are just plain evil. As for the image, it is absolutely beautiful.I love the lighting. It doesn't blindly shine off of her skin, but is a nice, soft near-glow.

And here, I thought liberals didn't believe in moral absolutes,... oh, except the ones they hold dear. Yeah, that's it. There's a word for that,... what was it? Oh yeah. Hypocrisy. The point is, your ideas of good and evil are your opinions,... not facts. There is no morality of good & evil in nature. There's no place for good & evil on the periodic charts or in the equations of the universe. Only in man's fantastic imagination does it exist. So, whatever he wishes to image as good IS good, because good has no other meaning.
