Can anyone choose the right, if the only choices given to you are evil?

If you look hard enough, you can always find more options. You may have to do some work to be able to use one of those options but they are always there.

Robert, you answered your own question. If the choices are evil, then they are wrong.
This must be an extremely rough situation if the only answer is in doing something evil in retaliation or retribution. Think about it, more closely, maybe you should just walk away from the situation and place it in God's Hands.
I'm a 50 yr old Christian and have walked away from some situations, that had I gotten involved in, could have dampened or destroyed my Christian Witness and way of life. Walking away hurt and changed my life, but not my Christianity, that is not for sale at any price.
If you need someone to talk to about this situation in more detail, I'm available, email me. There is always a better way than to give into evil.

Depends what you mean by 'the right'. We all have to make choices and they might well be the lesser of several evils, but that's the world we live in. It's up to you to make as certain as you can be that you have made the best choice with the facts to hand. In the end it is usually a matter of judgment.

If those are the only choices, then you should choose the lesser evil I.E.(steal $5 from a poor man or steal $5 from a rich man) I would choose steal from a rich man.

Yes! You make a half turn so your back is to the evil and you can see the right.

I think so. Usually an evil professed as truth usually has enough truth in it for it to be believable. Pull out only the truths and leave all the evil, and surprise....lots of Truths!
blessed be

wow, can you be any more vague???
you can choose not to choose, you know.
Like the movie Sophie's Choice.
The woman is told by a Nazi soldier to choose one of her children that should be killed, if she did not choose, he would kill both, so she chose one and beame kind of crazy for the rest of her life. Not choosing was the right choice, because then the death of both would not have been on her conscience, as she did not choose to put one of her children to death.

Then you have to make do with the saying, "Choose the lesser evil."

Could you make the evil turn in on itself and self-destruct or move it somewhere inoffensive? In what context is this? Are you writing a book?

I believe God would expect you to refuse to do evil even if you were facing death.
