at least when it comes to outliers. situations where there are outlying extremes of horrific actions

2019-07-21 23:37:32 UTC  

such as serial child rape

2019-07-21 23:37:37 UTC  

thts clearly immoral

2019-07-21 23:37:43 UTC  

Puritans believe in objective morals

2019-07-21 23:37:54 UTC  

Everyone believes in an objective moral.

2019-07-21 23:38:00 UTC  

(I think the confusion here might stem from the fact many ppl don't understand that government deciding not to have a rule on a given subject is ALSO it having a rule. Because gov has the monopoly on violence it also prevents other institutions from enforcing rules. So a rule that isn't state-mandated is not only unenforced, it is banned unless there is a gov institution that says it's not.)

2019-07-21 23:38:05 UTC  

even if that "moral" is "Don't enforce your morals on everyone else"

2019-07-21 23:38:29 UTC  

checkmate atheists

2019-07-21 23:38:44 UTC  

oh please

2019-07-21 23:38:47 UTC  

That is a negative moral not a positive one

2019-07-21 23:38:51 UTC  

It's most obvious with contract law

2019-07-21 23:38:54 UTC  

Doom is a bastion of morality.

2019-07-21 23:38:55 UTC  

you have your core human nature values (which themselves vary quite a lot) then you have lots of rubbish - political correctness, an invented moral code. then you have devoutly religious people who think sex before marriage is immoral, etc

2019-07-21 23:38:56 UTC  

Atheists are more puritanical than most puritans

2019-07-21 23:39:09 UTC  

"OMG YOU CAN'T HAVE THOOOSE IN A PUBLIC PLACE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

2019-07-21 23:39:21 UTC  

contracts that are not enforceable are literally BANNED by definition. They have no legal power to them

2019-07-21 23:39:27 UTC  

they are not conrtacts

2019-07-21 23:39:35 UTC  

"OMG this dollar bill has the word GOD ON IT HALP I am being Opressed by this dollar bill"

2019-07-21 23:39:41 UTC  

thus - morals are subjective.

2019-07-21 23:39:48 UTC  

because the sovereign power will not allow for the punishment of their breakers

2019-07-21 23:40:13 UTC  

hell, even laws are subjective at this point although those are the one area which fucking shouldnt be

2019-07-21 23:40:42 UTC  

The existence of differing moral codes does not disprove objective morality

2019-07-21 23:41:16 UTC  

do you read back what you type before hitting return? the fact that there could even be differing moral codes means theyre subjective

2019-07-21 23:42:08 UTC  

Are you retarded?

2019-07-21 23:42:22 UTC  

do you know what subjective means?

2019-07-21 23:43:28 UTC  

Objective morality means that there is one definitively correct set of morals regardless of whether everyone believes it or not

2019-07-21 23:43:44 UTC  

Yes, and everyone has some of that.

2019-07-21 23:44:01 UTC  

"Its immoral for the man tm to tell me what to do."

2019-07-21 23:44:13 UTC  

Some actions seem to speak against the universe, yet all are permissible in reality, we can separate ourselves from the wolves

2019-07-21 23:44:28 UTC  

and where do your fictional definitively correct set of morals come from?

2019-07-21 23:45:16 UTC  

Most believers of obejective morality believe they come from god

2019-07-21 23:45:30 UTC  

oh good lord

2019-07-21 23:45:45 UTC  

or it can just be what works in this reality

2019-07-21 23:45:54 UTC  

but hose are functionally equivalent tbh

2019-07-21 23:46:19 UTC  

Our actions set the boundaries of what we accept our children to endure, we invite the future

2019-07-21 23:46:32 UTC  

which god in particular?

2019-07-21 23:46:59 UTC  

Is there something you arent getting through your thick skull? I am not arguing for the position just explaining the difference between a puritan and libertine perspective

2019-07-21 23:47:11 UTC  

You are clearly missing my point

2019-07-21 23:48:17 UTC  

No, your point makes no sense.

2019-07-21 23:48:19 UTC  

if you want to say "this is how some people think" that's fine, but to try to actually suggest theres a set of objective morals is ridiculous, because you're proving them to be subjective in the exact same sentence
