The tricky thing about the Bad Angels is they can sometimes masquerade as a Good Angel. ;)

And vice versa! This mock-serious essay proposes several things: that there is not an invariable unitary conscience; that Manicheanism fails under a variety of ambiguous situations; and that moral relativism is probably the most robust general principle. Some Buddhist ideas get thrown in there as well, but I soft pedal them.
