 don't be silly: good and evil are behaviours of people, nothing more; no need to get metaphysical

 No, that would imply that intention is what makes an action good or evil.

Metaphysics is what it's all about my friend.

The structure of reality can be described in different ways and still be coherent and true.  Nothing is more juvenile to someone who sees the world through a particular lens (or metaphysical understanding) than someone telling them they can't see the truth.
