The Big Big Thread of Religious Discussion

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with the statement that there is ever a true "good" or "evil". People are both too biased within their own experiences and too varied in opinions for there to ever a concrete definition of either. Take murder. Most people agree it is an evil act. But (and here gets kind of weird, but bear with me, it helps me make my point) if it were possible to murder Hitler before his rise to power, would it still be evil? The point that I'm trying to make is that circumstance, more often than not, can morph an evil act to good or good to evil. As such, there can't be any objective morality system, since they all depend too much upon circumstances.
