and we all know faith isnt fact

2018-09-06 22:10:15 UTC  

no matter how hard you believe in it, we dont use god in science or mathematics

2018-09-06 22:10:48 UTC  

yes

2018-09-06 22:11:32 UTC  

A search for what God is, is what sent us down the path of discovery.

2018-09-06 22:11:54 UTC  

^

2018-09-06 22:11:57 UTC  

k what’s the connection

2018-09-06 22:12:03 UTC  

A hunger for knowledge of why it is that God did what he did.

2018-09-06 22:12:16 UTC  

Which lead to philosophy, which lead to modern science.

2018-09-06 22:15:07 UTC  

Now we argue over what is right, or wrong, and gauge how right something is compared to another.

2018-09-06 22:15:16 UTC  

Morality is objective, meaning it has a truth element outside of the mind. Moral systems are constructs built off of that objective truth

2018-09-06 22:16:29 UTC  

I don't think there is anything in modern morality that is "outside the mind".

2018-09-06 22:17:40 UTC  

Perhaps if I saw somebody struck by lightning out of a blue sky for doing something immoral, then there would be proof of an objective morality.

2018-09-06 22:18:27 UTC  

Sure there are, things like degeneracy and the negative effect it has on those people and their society.

2018-09-06 22:18:59 UTC  

Why must the consequences be immediate and obvious?

2018-09-06 22:19:00 UTC  

An agreed upon set of ethics and decisions on what is more right won't sway me. I think there is justification for morality, but no true morality that presides above the rest.

2018-09-06 22:21:14 UTC  

‘degeneracy’ is one of the most subjective things out there

2018-09-06 22:22:19 UTC  

It's like, what is the difference between righteous anger, and indignation to you?

2018-09-06 22:24:26 UTC  

Not really. If you believe in degeneracy, it becomes pretty obvious what are degenerate acts, naturally there will be edge cases as there are in everything.

2018-09-06 22:24:28 UTC  

When does killing become murder?

2018-09-06 22:24:47 UTC  

When does indulgence become degenerate?

2018-09-06 22:25:03 UTC  

Murder is easily defined. Premeditated and unjustified killing

2018-09-06 22:26:03 UTC  

Who decides what is Just when it comes to killing?

2018-09-06 22:27:25 UTC  

Ideally it shouldn't be a "who". There should be some standard which determines what is justification

2018-09-06 22:27:42 UTC  

But that's not how the Courts work.

2018-09-06 22:28:12 UTC  

Because humans aren't capable of attaining perfect objectivity

2018-09-06 22:28:17 UTC  

Should we do away with the courts and have a paper run them instead?

2018-09-06 22:28:33 UTC  

What?

2018-09-06 22:29:41 UTC  

Who would write this Mystical document that would enforce right and wrong and not be subjected to any interpretation?

2018-09-06 22:30:06 UTC  

How would that be enforced?

2018-09-06 22:30:13 UTC  

What would enforce it?

2018-09-06 22:30:56 UTC  

This has nothing to do with the morality and justification of a thing, you are asking questions of application

2018-09-06 22:31:11 UTC  

And I never mentioned a document

2018-09-06 22:31:33 UTC  

I'm asking how is there a definite morality.

2018-09-06 22:32:07 UTC  

No you weren't

2018-09-06 22:32:18 UTC  

Yes, I was.

2018-09-06 22:32:34 UTC  

If there is an objective morality, what is it?

2018-09-06 22:32:40 UTC  

You asked about a document that would enforce the morality. Not how morality is definite

2018-09-06 22:33:01 UTC  

Holy, sweet Lord, give me strength.

2018-09-06 22:33:22 UTC  

A document would be the application of the morality

2018-09-06 22:33:52 UTC  

I asked those questions because you said it should not be a "who" that decides what is Just

2018-09-06 22:34:02 UTC  

Which implies it should be a what.
