Wouldn't it be fun if we could have a potluck with our internet friends?
If you are a good person, by what standard (religious ethics, philosophy, law, etc.) are you good? Is being "a good person" important to you?
Ah, spring allergy season, when even my ear canals itch.
On Good Friday, we can take comfort in the knowledge that all evil ever done will be made right. The restitution has been made, moral responsibility has been satisfied, justice has been carried out. There can be peace between humanity and deity. You can have it if you want it.
If justice is desirable, then we also desire moral responsibility, as well as restitution. When someone does something evil, we hold that person responsible for their actions, and we want (often, we demand!) them to make it right in some way.
Because we know that evil is real, we also have an idea that justice is desirable. Although we quibble about the details, we know that when "something wrong" happens, we want it to be fixed.
We know that evil is real. Some will argue that evil is simply "things happening that we don't like," which I think most people consider a shady dodge.

Is it evil to be rich? Whether it is or not, if you're rich, it's a lot easier to be evil in a big way.

Where does your knowledge of what is right come from? Is it objective or subjective, internal or external?
What would the world be like if everyone else had the same way of knowing what is right?
What bookstore service provider does your institution use? (Disregard if you're not a person with an institution with a bookstore.)
Nothing like coming back from a conference to find all the fires you left burning are right where you left them.
Oh dear. I may have to buy a pie today.
