There is a fake bible verse from the film pulp fiction that Sam Jackson’s character Jules says to people before he kills them. The verse actually came from a Sony Chiba movie called “the bodyguard” It also is not in the bible, but was created as a form of presenting a code that one might live by to justify murder. Because god can strike down upon thee, the protagonist takes the form of god and brings down the furious anger to those who would try to poison and destroy the good, and the innocent. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Interesting that this line describes what it is to be a righteous man by setting the parameters and contrast of good vs. evil. The ultimate morality of what is good, and what is evil? Inequity of selfish is a direct reference to greed and envy. Tyranny of evil men is a way of lumping together, and creating a consistency between all evil beings. It allows for gods ultimate punishment because it is ultimate evil. Tyranny on its own is not evil, yet those who lust for power and ultimately become tyrants are seen as evil, yet at times many of their choices are for the better good, or what a leader may perceive or interpret as the greater good.
Is morality subjective or can we find some kind of congruent form of universal morality that would allow for non-subjective truly un-bias dissemination of facts and understanding?
