Objective

2018-09-06 21:38:09 UTC  

Subjectie

2018-09-06 21:40:57 UTC  

subjective, 100%

2018-09-06 21:41:25 UTC  

if there’s one thing i’ve learned from being here it’s that lmao

2018-09-06 21:48:23 UTC  

Objective

2018-09-06 21:50:21 UTC  

Morality is a construct and as such it is objective in the eyes of the one who created the moral system. The definition of morality would support this notion.

2018-09-06 21:50:57 UTC  

Natural rights + evolutionary psychology = basic standard of morality every remotely successful society has ever held.

2018-09-06 21:51:01 UTC  

There are even extents to which morality extends i.e.: how right, or wrong something is.

2018-09-06 21:52:19 UTC  

E.g. Killing is wrong, but under circumstance it is accepted.

2018-09-06 21:53:32 UTC  

Murder <:unequal:473954748517842954> killing

2018-09-06 21:53:50 UTC  

I didn't say murder.

2018-09-06 21:54:21 UTC  

Should have put it other way around

2018-09-06 21:54:47 UTC  

Killing is not wrong under most every moral system

2018-09-06 21:55:03 UTC  

Murder is though

2018-09-06 21:55:51 UTC  

A life is a life regardless of what is chosen to do with it. I'm not saying that killing can not be justified.

2018-09-06 21:57:00 UTC  

But the fact that you just said "every moral system" contradicts your statement that morality is objective.

2018-09-06 21:57:32 UTC  

As if there was an objective morality, there would be no systems.

2018-09-06 21:57:35 UTC  

Like I said, basically all moral systems make a distinction between the two. Killing is an amoral act.

2018-09-06 21:57:38 UTC  

There would just be morality.

2018-09-06 21:57:42 UTC  

Right and wrong.

2018-09-06 21:58:14 UTC  

Moral systems <:unequal:473954748517842954> morality

2018-09-06 21:58:15 UTC  

surely the fact that there’s an argument at all about this should show that morality isn’t objective

2018-09-06 21:58:31 UTC  

Exactly.

2018-09-06 21:58:32 UTC  

Lol not even close

2018-09-06 21:59:02 UTC  

The fact that you have to convince people of an objective morality shows there is no objective.

2018-09-06 21:59:14 UTC  

That it is fluid and dynamic.

2018-09-06 21:59:34 UTC  

We can argue about fact of whether there is a god or not, the fact there is a disagreement doesn't make God's existence subjective

2018-09-06 22:00:04 UTC  

God's existence is not subjective.

2018-09-06 22:00:05 UTC  

You don't need to agree on an objective truth for it to be objective

2018-09-06 22:00:22 UTC  

It is objective, as Good exists, or does not exist.

2018-09-06 22:00:47 UTC  

And the objective reality is that there is no way to know for certain.

2018-09-06 22:00:58 UTC  

That is what faith is.

2018-09-06 22:01:09 UTC  

i mean imo unless there’s indisputable evidence to back something up then it’s subjective

2018-09-06 22:01:29 UTC  

so from my point of view god’s existance would be subjective

2018-09-06 22:01:36 UTC  

@ham addition that's not how objectivity works

2018-09-06 22:02:37 UTC  

Though

2018-09-06 22:02:51 UTC  

You could say that all systems is morality are objective.

2018-09-06 22:03:10 UTC  

Subjectivity means there is no right answer. Objectivity means there is a right answer, whether we know what the right answer is or not

2018-09-06 22:03:22 UTC  

No.

2018-09-06 22:04:12 UTC  

It means that a person's judgment based on facts can not be swayed by opinion, or feeling.

2018-09-06 22:04:51 UTC  

So if there were facts to support both arguments, both could be objective. By the definition of the word.
