Which matters more in judgement?

[Wynd_Fox]

What do you personally believe in most important when deciding if some thing is, to put it in overly general terms, good or bad?

To clarify, if you shoot an orphan in the face because you thought it would save the world (let's say you're not nuts, and this is a totally legitimate belief), but the world wouldn't have been destroyed anyway, is that good or bad? And if you try to stop the orphan from being shot, in order to destroy the world, but in the end just save an orphan's life because the world wouldn't have been destroyed anyway, is that good or bad?


Nothing against orphans...

I think they're equal
because wanting to do good things is pointless if you don't actually do them
but doing good things means nothing if you didn't want to do them

[ShadowYoshi294]

I agree with Night Fox.

>if killing orphan didn't save the world he would be trialed for insanity, not to mention the person being shot being an orphan really doesn't effect anything unless you are an oversensitive moralcigarette (who wouldn't be allowed in a jury anyway)
>if stopping the orphan from being shot did or didn't save the world it wouldn't matter anyway because you stopped someone from being shot, unless someone could prove you thought it would destroy the world then you would probs be trialed for either insanity or planned/thought stuff, but that cant be proven anyway.

How does the person being an orphan make it worse anyway? Toughen up!
