No you weren't, you were setting up a straw man that you could easily known down, nothing more.

> Morals sure as hell are math, just like everything else.

No they aren't.

> If someone murdered in cold blood and then went on to save every starving person in the world, then they are also-fucking-lutley a good person.

No they aren't. They're a bad person trying to make themselves feel better by making up for their crimes. They don't ever become a good person after murdering someone. That line cannot be uncrossed.
