'''Good and evil''' are two opposite concepts describing actions that are [[moral]] ([[good]]) and those that are not ([[evil]]). The idea that good and evil exist is the opposite view to [[moral relativism]] (see [[postmodernism]]), which contends that there are no such things as absolute good and evil, and that the prevailing moral code in any society is merely a set of ultimately arbitrary conventions.

Though this website often characterizes "good" and "conservative" mutually, and, conversely, "evil" and "liberal", for any innocent reader stumbling through this mess of prejudice and errors, note that good and evil do not directly mean either one of these two major ideologies. They are not absolute good or evil, right or wrong, or true or false. Never rely on only one ideology, as it brought numerous catastrophes as shown by history.
Most [[religion]]s include a belief in the dichotomy of good and evil, often represented by two opposing figures such as [[God]] and the [[devil]]. Good can then be defined as anything in accordance with God's will. [[Zoroastrianism]] has been claimed to be the first religion to frame morality in these terms, but it is also a cornerstone of [[Christianity]], [[Judaism]], [[Islam]], and many other faiths. However, even within a religion where it is agreed that good and evil exist, discerning the difference between the two in specific cases tends to prove problematic. In ''World Scripture'' we read:
