Is a Mercedes moral, immoral, or amoral? I'm not professing to know exactly how to answer that question, but I tend to think that <I>buying</I> a Mercedes would be a moral act for some people in some situations and an immoral act for other people in onther situation.<BR/><BR/>Along the lines of what I said in the second paragraph, I think it's impossible to define any human action as <B>necessarily</B> moral apart from its context (i.e. internal motivation as well as external circumstances). Some human actions may be <B>either</B> moral or immoral, depending on context. Other human actions will <B>always</B> be immoral. It's possible to do "good" things for wrong reasons and therefore be in sin, but it's impossible to do bad things for good reasons and <I>not</I> be in sin.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665765739805841971noreply@blogger.com
