Should we doubt social notions of good and evil, sin and virtue?

Doubt is the fire that purifies inherited notions of good and evil; let it burn away the false, revealing the truth that shines brighter in the light of honest inquiry.

— Osho
According to Osho, yes—subject every inherited idea of good/evil, sin/virtue to the fire of doubt. Doubt is a purifying touchstone: whatever is true and genuinely good becomes brighter; whatever is false, conventional, or hypocritical burns away. Social morality often masks bargaining and bribery with God; only what survives honest inquiry deserves your trust and practice.

Question what people call good or bad; if it’s truly good, your questions won’t break it—only fake stuff will fall apart.
