Noone important. I back out of forcing opinions onto people. I accept that I am not a moral guardian, I do not have an objective answer to morality which is right. I have no moral truth greater than yours by intrinsic factors. In fact, the only thing that can justifiably be forced is that which is forcing morality into people.Raskolnikov34 said:See, now since your an atheist, I have to engage in a whole religious debate...see my earlier post...and faith makes truth impossible? Think about that for 3 seconds, and try to figure out why radical skepticism is completely irrational.Baneat said:I was making a point, you're no moral authority on anything, it's a giant tautology (Which you've yet to address). Literally, who the fuck are you, not "I want to piss you off"Raskolnikov34 said:Why it is immoral hinges in a believe in God (no, its not God said so, so therefore we have to do it)...I don't know your religious views and I don't want to assume anything, so you'd have to fill me in before I could give it.Baneat said:And if it is hedonistic, well who the fuck are you anyway? Your objective morality has no reasoning at all behind it. None, it's tautological templar (It's right because it's moral, it's moral because it's right)SarahSyna said:It's natural for us to be wandering around naked, living in our own excrement. Are clothes and waste management terrible, evil things too?Raskolnikov34 said:3: Unnatural: It clearly goes against basic human nature on a Biological and psychological level. Men are meant to be attracted to women in order to propagate the species. Anything that goes against human nature is obviously wrong.
4: Immoral and Hedonistic: The infertile having sex is hedonistic? No, if there're married its not, there's nothing wrong per say with pleasure. Its when a person ignores basic ethics and morality in order to achieve pleasure, thus making pleasure their ultimate goal, that it becomes hedonism. And according to my morality? There's one, objective morality, personal opinions aside. But I don't want to argue about relativism, if that's what you're putting forward, when that's kind of off topic...maybe a different time.
It's also human nature to kill, rape, maim. Should we abolish all the laws condemning these?
Except that gay sex isn't just pleasure. It's about love and affection just as much as straight sex. If gay sex is hedonistic, then all sex is.
Naturality means nothing, but I'll entertain it for the lulz. Humans are natural beings, thus, they can never do anything unnatural.
WOAH NELLY basic ethics? I've done far more than my fair share of normative ethical philosophy, and if there was an ethical basis against it, it's most certainly not "basic" or I'd have already observed it.Raskolnikov34 said:Explain to me why raping, killing, maiming, wandering in our own excrement and being naked are a part of human nature...and I already qualified why gay sex is hedonistic: it ignores basic ethics and morality in pursuit of pleasure; the same could be said for straight sex outside marriage.
Your basic ethical (And subjective, don't bullshit me on this) and moral reasoning is? Just expand it, it's easy, apparently, it's basic.
And also, try not to be so aggressive, its a debate; we're both seeking the truth, not violently wrestling for it.
Don't mix in "God" with "Religion", God's necessary to Religion, Religion's a contingent to a belief in God
<Agnostic atheist if you deem it relevant.
If you base morality off some fuckin book made a long time ago by other people and assert it as truth and word of god (A God who cannot be wrong) - then I can't help you. You're not seeking truth, faith makes truth impossible.
Well, you know what(Oh fuck Godwin, it's an easy example and I can't be bothered)? Mein Kampf. It was all correct, all true, everything in that is the moral objective truth.
Enjoy.
And who the fuck am I? Who the fuck are you?
Faith makes truth impossible by virtue of its definition.
