For me what is good is anything God tells me is good and anything has says is wicked is wicked. These are the morals and the ways of life that I have been raised up on.

anything God tells me is good also said by suicide bombers

We also have Athiests that steal, kill, lie destroy, tax people to death, execute others, etc. It is the individual not the religion.

John 16:1 “All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. 3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.

That is up to the individual to become a suicide bombers. Those are things of a satanic or demonic person. The Devil will kill in any way shape or form. God doesnt advise us to commit suicide.

What if Hinduism is true?

Then you're simple wrong and completely deluded and stuck believing a lie.

Isn't that obvious to you? It's sad that you haven't thought about this. Do your parents even know?

That she hasnt thought about this? Christianity outlasts Hinduism by a long shot. By comparison of the two and seeing who wrote it only Christianity has been the most credible and most powerful so O am sure she has nothing to worry about.

No seriously, don't you ever question your beliefs? You sound extremely ignorant.

Isnt what you are doing now ignorant?

I don't think she sounds ignorant she just sounds sure about her beliefs for all we know she may have questioned her beliefs and come to the conclusion that Jesus and God is the answer. Your statement which sounds like you have assumed she has never questioned her beliefs which therefore makes her ignorant makes you sound like the ignorant one.

This is the point where religion comes in. Any other philosphy is objective to the majority or personal beliefs

God and everything he says is good, Devil and everything he says is evil. Also just to help specify, Devil lies, but does not have to so if Devil is saying something that seems Good, it's evil unless confirmed by God to be good.

Think about it this way

God is Good with one less 'O'

Devil is evil with a 'D'.

Is there any value put upon destruction in the Bible/ Christian religion? I am honestly asking I don't know.

I know there are other religions that see the benefits of destruction. In Hinduism, for example, there is Vishnu who creates and Shiva who destroys, then Vishnu creates. (pleased forgive my simplistic view of Hinduism here, I'm just trying to give a quick example)

I'm not positing any religion or belief system is better than any other, I am asking if Christians recognize any value in destruction.

Some things must be destroyed so others can be created.

It's a matter of debate. Not of dogmatic, blindfolded faith. It can't really be answered without any controversy.

Rescuing a puppy from a well is good. Throwing that puppy back in is evil.

What if after rescuing the puppy, you find that it has a mutated form of rabies that can only be contained in an aquatic setting and the well is about to be cover with a concrete slab to build a new environmentally friendly factory, which will create new jobs for Americans, and the government inspector is coming and he will stall the project if there are any issues? Wouldn't it then be good to throw the puppy back in and allow the construction to move forward?

But the puppy doesn't have a mutated form of rabies in my scenario... he's just a puppy.

Clearly there's no answer to this because we can define whatever we want .

It's all in our mind , saving the puppet from the well may be a good thing because you want it to live to see the wonders of the world , but it might also be a bad thing because the world is dangerous .

For instance , the puppy is dying on the road , one can take pity on it and help it but one can also scorn it and left it there , it's just an standard measured by your own mind for the individual .

As for the "better" answer it's just controlled by the majority , helping people by donating is good because the majority says so , helping people can also be good by killing them because the majority says so , majority holds the most of the things and that's why people stand together , if you aren't sure about the choice you'd stick to the majority , because it encourages/enforces/comforts you to make the decision no matter it's truly "Good" or "Bad" .

Good can be defined by the actions that you do.. If they are good deeds that it is good

Whereas, it is bad deeds then, you must be a bad and horrible person
