I believe there is no such thing as good and evil. Those perspectives are 100% human and hold inconsistent value. Both sides think they are the good side. The winning side is almost always the "good guys" by force of perspective or by majority. If good is truly good and evil is truly evil then the winner's alignment will always be the same no matter what.

I also believe that if you do believe in such a system of good and evil you are highly prone to discrimination, racism, and other such emotions because of your judgement system of belief. When you label such things as "evil" and "good" you are judging them with a name that has a profound impact on how society should perceive their character.
