By way of elaboration, my lectures are to provide you with a quick overview of a variety of perspectives, sometimes mutually contradictory. They are not intended to provide a single, well reasoned, statement of personal belief for your conversion. In spite of the sophism of contemporary political correctness, all values and beliefs are simply not equally good, or valuable, or beneficial, to society. Some answers work and some do not. Some beliefs are constructive, and some are not.
Some values are good and some are bad.
In the abstract, some questions are easy to answer. Some may not be so clear - as history and literature continually tell us. Jean Val Jean stole bread for his starving children. He was a thief. And terrorism is always justified on the basis of its necessity at the moment, regardless whether its the PLO, or the French Resistance, or Eisenhower, in his explanation of his WWII execution of an American soldier for desertion, to set an example for the rest of the army.
