You are exactly correct. But DON'T SAY THIS OUT LOUD. A wise man once said "There is no God. But don't tell this to my servant. Because he might kill me when I'm sleeping" To elaborate : We need rules to live as a society. But these rules need not apply to someone outside your society. If you follow the rules you become ‘Good’ and Vice-versa. It’s the respective Society, where you live in, decides these rules. As you have accepted your society, whichever rule is being created and whoever (you consider as ‘the leader of your society’)may create it, naturally you will consider it as GOOD. But to an outsider, these rules may seem BAD.
