The categorizations of "Good" and "bad" are illusions and nothing more. (and so is morality)

Hello Harlan, I read your opening statement and can say that you did put a lot of effort and thought into your statements, and you seem to be an extremely well spoken individual. Now you have left the terms "good" and "bad" very loosely defined, and it seems to me that you have argued that really there is no better or worse, good or bad, or even opposition of any sort, but that all things just are. There are two major fundamental flaws in this argument that should be easy to see. First is your belief that you do not have any free will. Anybody who has ever made a decision in their life already has enough personal experience and evidence to avoid falling for that. The countless examples of people using self control would show that there is a such thing as free will, and your probable argument that they did not really make that decision themselves, but were somehow coerced against their will to do it based on the way they have been conditioned or something would be further refuted by an example of anyone who has ever...changed. The reason that I go into this is to show that there is in fact a such thing as free will, this will come in to play soon. The second flaw is that there is one irrevocable law that logic cannot deny, that is simply that there has to be opposition in all things. Now before I go into this, you must realize again that in this particular debate, "good" and "bad" are very loosely defined. Without dark, there could be no light, without heat, there could be no cold. How would you define something without it's opposite? If you have never experienced darkness, how would you know you have always been in light? opposition in all things is a fundamental part of human growth and progression. Now...in order to show how this logic ties into this particular debate I am going to use a more specific example tying opposition and agency together to show that some things are just "bad". One of the "opposites" in our universe that everyone has without a doubt experienced are the opposites of pleasure and pain. Now please bear with me on this one, if you were to take 10 animals, (dogs, cats, or humans) and show them one room where upon entry they are beaten with a hammer, and another room down the hall, where they are treated kindly and given some sort of treat, there would be a perception of "different". If then you were to let the animals loose, you would probably find that they unanimously will "choose" the option that they would prefer, or in other words, the room that they would avoid would be the room that they perceived to be "bad". If you were to be walking down the street, and I approached you with a crow bar and pulled it back ready to swing it, you would probably react by either the duck and cover move, running away, or coming at me and taking me down. You likely would not react by offering your head to me on a tee. This is because you likely do not want to be hit in the face with a crow bar, (just for the record, I like you and would never hit you with a crow bar). Taking a crow bar to the face would not feel good. Getting a broken leg is bad, watching a parent die in a horrible accident is undesirable, and therefore bad. A dictator In 1930's Europe murdering 6 million innocent Jewish people is bad. Im sorry, there is no way to argue that some things are not wrong or bad. Some people may have a different perception I guess, which would allow them to somehow look at the most extreme examples of "good" or "bad" and call them the opposite, but they are a huge minority and their perception does not change what is. Anyone who honestly thinks that the holocaust was not bad, please let me know.
