there is no right or wrong? The perspective of these things would lie in the eye of the beholder - it seems to me that good and evil are just two perspectives of the same thing. Reality is subjective.

i am saying that neither exist - i am asking about your perception of reality when it makes you feel good vs. when it makes you feel not good

We, Christians that is, know what is good and what is evil based on what the Words of God say:
Rom:7:7: What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
There is no right or wrong, good or evil to those who do not have instructions to know what is good and what is evil, what is righteous and what is unrighteous. Christians base what they know is Good and evil, by what the Words of God teaches them, this is what sets us apart from the rest of the World, we believe the Bible and what it says.
In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ

In the grand scheme of things, right and wrong (and indeed, "good" and "evil") are opinions. I prefer to use the terms "helpful" and "unhelpful." At least these terms are intrinsically clear without having to look for an outside authority. While one may debate the relative helpfulness of an act, there is no reason to include the fear that some deity will be offended in the discussion.

Are you asking what if right or wrong didn't exist, or are you making an argument that they don't exist?
By accepting the fact that good and evil are in the eye of the beholder, you are affirming the existence of good and evil in each person's mind.

The phrase, "What if?" indicates that you are having trouble dealing with reality.
What you may be trying to promote is situation ethics. Sooner of later though, you end up with a bottom line, and that is that there is a right and a wrong, a good and bad, a godly and a wicked.
Knowing the difference between good and evil is a godly trait.
The exercise of that knowledge is called "free will."

Really? Would most people agree that killing for no reason is good? I don't think so. What you said is true to a point, there is a grey area in between, but this area is not so expansive that you can call an action anything you want.

Reality is subjective. Values are social constructions. What's right now wasn't right before. Opinions change. Nothing is absolute.

Too late! There is a right and wrong and we all know it.
So your philosophy is wrong.
Good and evil do exist and one if opposite of the other.
No in between

That is a hard question to answer.
It seems many things in life aren't black and white....but shades of gray.

Even stranger what if your question was not a question but a statement with a lost question mark wondering about in it?
