*nods* The problem that I have is that my own beliefs are not self-consistent. On the one hand, I feel as you do about good and bad acts; on the other hand, I believe one of those good acts is respecting others' beliefs. Unfortunately this means that I have two different beliefs that confict: that killing is bad, and that respecting their desire to kill is good. To reconcile my beliefs, I must further rank them in terms of which bads are worse and which goods are better. Not a pleasant thing when intellectually I'd rather believe there's no absolute good and bad in the first place. Bleh.
