Yes, good and evil are in the eye of the beholder. Certainly most would agree that Hitler and Ted Bundy were evil and Mother Theresa was good. My dear Grandmother thought Catholics sipping wine with communion were evil as well as dancing and playing cards. Personally I think a nice glass of wine, dancing at the square and playing Canasta are good things. I agree that good and evil are man made ideas and it varies depending on ones individual experiences. A Christian would think stoning a young rape victim evil while Sharia law says it is good. Good and Evil are abstract ideas based on ones life experiences. That does not mean I do not have my own concept of good and evil; but means that all do not share the same ideas and it is only for me to live by my values and know that some might not agree.
