Religiously speaking
Is it better to do what is right in the moment
Or do something that isnt right in the moment but is right in the end?
Example: having to decide between:
a) kill someone and forget about it (clean conscience)
b) never kill someone but believe you did for the rest of your life (believe to be a murderer in your own eyes.
In this scenario your current memory will be erased after the fact.

I can't make sense the way you ask your question. Do you want to know if the ends always justify the means? Is it wrong to do a bad thing for a good reason?

Obviously B.
It's the action that's right or wrong, not the way you feel when you think about it.
