Absolute morality
 * There is no absolute morality in the universe (go ahead, shoot me as a heretic). There is just God. To follow him will bring you the most pleasure. Good and evil are just definitions we have scoped in vector space. The question is, what will you choose?

Definition of Good
 * Good is in accordance with Gods nature, to glorify him.
 * Gods main mission is to glorify himself. He alone is worthy of glory and everything else derives its being and ethical worth from him (if ethical worth exists). The proper state of each and every thing in the universe is to glorify God, to behave in a manner that recognizes and appreciates his existence, giving God due attention - all of our attention. The tendency to bring such order to the universe is what we call good. God is good because he glorifies himself. We are good if we glorify God and obey him. A decision is good if it humbles itself before Gods authority and preeminence.

Definition of evil
 * All things that are not good are evil. He who is not for us is against us.
 * To ignore God is offensive just as ignoring a parent is disrespectful.
 * To avoid the question is wicked like avoiding a friend is considered hurtful.

Language for both
 * State. A world state may be heuristically evaluated as a magnitute of good and/or bad
 * Actions. Actions are good or bad as they change the state of being.
 * Continuous. States may be defined with behavioral protocols. Engaging in those protocols and producing weighted or unweighted but transient/fleeting objects can be good or bad depending on the protocol source.

Levels
 * See connection. In some arguments there are hierarchies of good and evil. The higher hierarchies are infinitely greater than the lower, so a single level 1 good would justify any quantity of level 0 evil.
