This is not a difficult concept. One side is not universally in the wrong here.
It is fine to play a Paladin in the same party as a Necromancer in PFS.

It is NOT fine for a Paladin's player to act like a jerk and pick fights about how the Necromancer is infringing on his or her ability to have fun.

Cooperation is one of the core tenants of the Pathfinder Society. If you (the player or the character) have a problem with a member of your party for whatever reason, you may feel free to remove yourself from that situation by not playing at that table.
If both parties (players and/or characters) are unable to cooperate, the GM should step in (OOC for players, IC for characters) and stop the situation.
Get along, or go away.
Forget this is a role-playing and race to the end please. This is Pathfinder Society, no characterisation will be allowed. Nothing to see here. Move along.
What I think keeps getting missed here is what the reality of Animate Dead would be like if Pathfinder took place in the real world. I would be as horrific and disrespectful to the body as any crime we have in todays world. Yet because we play in this fantasy world where we can do incredible things, such a crime in considered not evil DESPITE its descriptor. Thats a joke!!!!
Lass makes a great point comparing this to other potential evil acts. If we are cool with letting some weird snowflake concept, which sounds munchkined up to all porportions, do things that in a real world would definately be judged evil by our court system why the hell are we allowing this in our RPG?
Maybe next time someone wants to eat a Harpy heart go ahead. We dont have harpies in our real world so why not? Sure lets torture, murder and other heinous acts because it aint the real world so who cares... its all for the greater good of collecting artifacts after all!
Furthermore these false comparisons of Animate Dead falling on the same moral plain as bridery, stealing and Intimidation are laughable. If thats your morality scale, where does some of the more heinous of crimes scale with you? Is Bridery then the same as Murder??? Its a neutral campaign after all!
