Yes. I'd argue the fine shades of grey are much more dominant than the areas of black or white.

To believe there is no "grey" area is to believe absolutely that we live in a binary, digital world. Think about it, EVERYTHING is a continuum rather than an absolute.
Is it wrong to kill a man?
What if he's about to shoot another person who is about to blow up a building?
What if the building is a prison housing Sadaam Hussein, and Sadaam has his finger on a button that will destroy the city the prison is in?
What if that city just discovered a virus is there that will kill us all, and pushing the button is the result of him finally wanting do one positive thing, and destroy the virus before it destroys all mankind?
There are only "grey" areas. Can you even begin to imagine how dull life would be if that weren't the truth? LOL

In life? Surely. To say everything is black or white, that everything must either be good or evil, is to be very closed minded. If someone holds a gun to you, and you kill them, have you committed an "evil" act? No, nor have you done something that could be labeled as "good".
OK, so some of these answers are ridiculous. To say that only what God thinks matters is a little silly. How can any of us presume to think that WE hold the truth? How can we as mere humans claim to know the mind of God? Oh yes, there's the Bible. A book written and revised and translated by MAN! Word of God or not, we as humans are "flawed" therefore can make mistakes. There are so MANY ways just one verse of the bible can be interpreted it is not even funny. There ARE grey areas of life. That's not to say that there are no evil things in this world, or any evil act ever committed. There are just times when an act cannot be fully defined as one or the other.

Yes, usually on animals like Elephants and Rhinos. A grey area in what?

No...there is only a "grey area" when you don't want to take the responsibility for your actions....It's always the "grey area's fault! Everything is black and white and crystal clear.

For those who do not want to face the reality of their lives there is the gray shaded area. For those who want to break the law there is the gray shaded area. For those that want to do what they know is wrong there is the gray shaded area. For those that would rather lie than tell the truth there is a gray shaded area. If you really think about it the gray shaded areas always covers negativity. Nothing positive there.

I don't see any grey areas when it comes to who to believe in.
