2. Also, and this is for Fljotsdale, say you have a hermit out in the desert or the woods, he's not particularly religious and doesn't pray, but he just doesn't like being around people. Would you describe his actions the rest of his life as either good or evil, or neither?

1. IMHO, no. If everyone behaved in a selfless way, we could make this world a paradise.
The bible promises an earthly paradise for all mankind willing to be obedient to god - but god has to get shot of the disobedient ones first!
Either way, I think a world without badness is POSSIBLE. Whether it is ever likely to happen is another question, lol!
2. This may be controversial, but I would say he was BAD! Why? Because he/she is being utterly selfish!
It is a tempting prospect though... but, no! I'd miss my computer too much!
Seriously... it would really depend on his/her actions. Whether anyone sees or knows what s/he does is beside the point. The hermit would be interacting with the environment, and how his/her actions affected it would determine if s/he is good or bad.
