Right or wrong?

Christianity, like all religions, were based on concepts of right or wrong, however whose concept of right or wrong is right or wrong?

Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple because he thought what they were doing was wrong. Yet, in his actions of doing this, they may have thought he was wrong. I suppose good versus evil depends on what side of the fence we stand on in each moment.

Makes me wonder why there is still children being bought for sex slavery when so many believe in their heart it is wrong. Is there a right in all this that we could be overlooking - some deeper karmic reasoning?

I try to see the sense in the senseless but sometimes it makes my brain hurt thinking that deeply. I guess it's like Spock says: you cannot reason with the unreasonable.

I like to take the Golden Rule into consideration with anything I do, but maybe I am asking for someone to do something to me even though I feel it is wrong.

The mysteries of life ... good or bad - right or wrong. It seems to be much easier to explain love and hate then right and wrong.
