    It's a cognitive shortcut, just like stereotyping or reflexively adopting the opinions of groups or individuals you trust. If you don't simplify the decision making process somehow you could literally spend the rest of your life unable to make a decision because some decisions are just that complicated.

    [Matthew 5:37] All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

    The truth (absolute truth) helps a person to distinguish between good and evil.

    Neutralistic observation in itself shows a lack of positive qualities.

    There's a world of difference between good and bad. As for God, God or Gods either exist or they don't. There's no third option here.
