->  Hello Lee,
-> 
->  LL> Without a point of reference, there can be no "good" or "evil".
-> 
->  Yes, yes, I understand.
-> 
->  LL> In other words, in order to do "good" one must have knowledge of 
both
->  LL> "good" and "evil", otherwise whatever one does cannot be known by
->  LL> him or her as being either "good" or "evil".
-> 
->  Yes, but... what do you mean by "have knowledge?"

I have a chance to introduce a thought I had in a phil group a while ago 
that got off on a bad tangent!

No one can have knowledge of good and evil because they are purely human 
ideas and don't exist as independant of human thought..  No animal has 
these concepts.  They have bennificial and detrimental but not good or 
evil.
