Take it for granted that action A is a morally reprehensible action that is condemned by the majority of human cultures. Also take for granted that persons C and D are innocent of any wrongdoings outside the circumstances of this thought experiment.

Now, person B is very evil and conducts action A upon person C.

Is it now morally acceptable now for person D to conduct action A upon person B in revenge?
>>
No, D should mind his own business and C should turn the other cheek. B will get his in the afterlife.

No, but I will sacrifice my morals for my loved ones.

But more seriously, 'eye-for-an-eye' punishment doesn't make the world nicer to live in. It just multiplies suffering without actually preventing future instances.

Life for an eye is much better at preventing future misdemeanors

Evil does not justify evil

Depends. Does person B have a soul to be saved?

>>8057278

There is a belief system that holds not human beings have souls?

It's only evil when done without provoking

This. I got a little triggered.

If you take for granted A is morally reprehensible you presuppose well-defined morality and this piece is entirely irrelevant.

>Is it now morally acceptable now for person D to conduct action A upon person B in revenge?
No, you have taken for granted that A is morally reprehensible independent of context. You need to relax your hypothesis on A to depend on context if you want the possibility a context exists which justifies it.
If A has a built-in context (context is embedded in what we mean by "A") is is of course impossible for D to A on B as the context has changed.
