Good and Bad

I was reading through someone's blog something about evil and good. it got me wondering is there really such a thing as good and bad, isn't it all subjective. It's only bad when it suits you. If i murdered one man to save thousands of life would i be bad because i killed someone, or would the fact that i saved more lives overwrite the evil deed?

Is good and bad defined by what the law, religion or culture tells us is a crime? Laws differ from country to country, abortion is legal where i stay, it could be different for you. Same sex marriages are legal here and illegal elsewhere.

People have different cultures, in some indian cultures when a woman has twins one of the baby has to be killed as a sacrifice, if you told them that was bad what would be the rational basis for your argument. Leave out all your beliefs and differentiate, rationanlly what good and bad is because from where i am standing i really do not see much of a difference
