In a complex world of international intrigue and shadowy conspiracies, who is to say what is right or wrong anymore? Are you a good guy, or a bad guy? WHO KNOWS!
That’s why we reached out to a morality expert to help us understand evil.
Are you a bad guy? Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Paragliders seem like a great tool for murdering: They’re supposed to be for recreation, silly!
- Your biggest supporters are Ayatollah Khamenei and Mia Khalifa: Yikes.
- You look at almost anything and say to yourself, “I wonder if I can turn that into a rocket and kill someone with it.”: And now everyone’s thirsty because you used all the water pipes to make rockets. Not cool, man.
- Biden just gave you $6 billion: Never a good sign.
- You defend yourself by reminding everyone you didn’t behead all the babies you killed: Just some of them, you guys. Lay off!
- Your bulletproof vest has a child on the front of it: A subtle but troubling indicator that you might be the bad guy here.
- You have a heavy machine gun mounted in the bed of your 1994 Toyota pickup truck: Unless you live in Kentucky, this is a red flag.
- You are exhilarated by the thought of innocent people being killed: You should try being exhilarated by something else, like baseball.

Much of today’s comments of the morality of actions in war were laid down centuries ago by the likes of Aquinas et al. Might be time for an evaluation of current circumstances with a view to handling terrorist threats with a different approach.
