Yep, whatever is 'good' to you, is 'good' to everyone else, right?

The problem with that, is that 'good', is subjective.

Pol Pot, thought what he did, was 'good'.

Where does it say that in the Constitution or any document? You're wrong.

I made my point. Perhaps reading comprehension, isn't your strong suit?

Generally, most peoples' definition of "doing good" doesn't include killing people, so it was a silly point to make. And it certainly didn't rebut my point that one can have a great life where they perform good works without God-worship.

You missed the point entirely then. History tells us that, according to some people, killing people, is a 'good' thing.

This isn't some obscure behavior.

How very unchristian of some. Attacking what is likely the most religious observant president in decades.
