This discussion seems more about what you consider your moral compass to be, and that I should adopt your ideas about good and evil. While I have some sense of ethics, I have no moral compass. Good and Evil are in the eye of the beholder who thinks these ideas are real. I hold they do not exist except as concepts planted in the mind by others, or perhaps by oneself in an attempt to control the world in a way favourable to one's own continued existence (after all someone had to invent those ideas). I would, if possible avoid being taken by ISIS/ISIL, the best way being never to get near where they are. If they killed me, I am reasonably confident they would consider it a good deed, for them and the world, because that is how they see the world. After such a fact, I would have no opinion or say in the matter because my form, mind, etc., would be non-existent. Their way of thinking I consider a danger to others, and that a permanent way of eliminating that kind of thinking — The True Believer — would be advantageous for those outside a circle of such beliefs. There can be no such thing as a true belief, because a belief is the assumption, that such-and-such is true, without supporting evidence. Believing this way is a pretence of knowledge. You are pretending something is true. Direct knowledge of a fact is rather rare in human discourse. We have to rely on hypothetical thinking quite a lot, and inductive inference quite a lot, and if pressed to demonstrate the truth of what we say, most of us would be in a pretty sorry state.

Xeno, This discussion is about good and evil and the role that you should play in it. If the IS rebels captured you, do you think they'll be doing a good deed for you and the world?
