RE: Do We Choose the Power to Do Right, or the Power to Do Wrong?
Prefer saying right and wrong rather than evil or good as its mostly brings to my mind some religious context.

Religions use other words too, does that mean those words are religious? :P The categorization of behavior into relative degrees of good and evil is something we do to judge the actions of others and ourselves. Good/right/true/moral are the same thing in this context, so too are evil/wrong/false/immoral. Thanks for the feedback.
I get what you are saying maybe im narrow-minded. Cheers
Hehe, it's that we're all too influenced by those things we don't like and associate many things as coming from those things we don't like. Maybe it's religion, maybe it's government, or someone we don't like. If someone we don't like suggests something, we tend to look at that suggestion unfavorably. Thinking of good and evil as coming from religion when we dislike religion has us dislike those terms as well, as "religious" terms. ;)
Yep, use what words you feel are most appropriate. I have to control my bias :)
