- Good and bad are entirely subjective.
- You only think something is good / bad because someone told you so.
- The victors write history (the 'good' guys 'always' win).
- Countries have their own internal histories and heroes, communities have their own internal histories and heroes, cultures, social groups, etc. All this of course affects the perception of good/evil.

Yes, good and evil are subjective, however if the majority percieves something to be evil then it is fair to say that that act becomes objectively evil. The Holocaust, for example.

Good and evil are both depicted among human opinion.
As an example (related to marcos' post, prior to this one) Throughout WWII, the the German civillians were given lies, and in their of need were willing to believe anything from a trusted leader. So eventually grew to believe that what they were doing in the near future was right. While many other countries thought the exact opposite.
Good and evil are basically the exact same thing.
