Re: Are you a good person?
A man who supports women's rights, loves dogs and is openly skeptical of the truth of all religions might be a Good Man in America but a Devil in some Arab countries.
It's not an impossible question to answer truthfully but, as ramonoski implies, it is complex.
You have to have an agreed upon definition of what a good man is. A man who doesn't rob his neighbors, is charitable in his actions,and seeks truth, has characteristics that almost all societies (if not all) recognize as good. By those qualities, I'd say I'm a decent enough guy. But if you dig deeper into qualities that culturally distinguish good from the not so good, it becomes more problematic.
