Like I said, there are some subjective attributes
religion and culture influences our biological morals
for instance, our biological morals tell us that murder is wrong, however the Aztecs believed that if they did not preform human sacrifices, the world would end
to them, the moral thing to do was kill people so the world would not end
does this mean they were right?
no
just primitive
So are you telling me that because morality changes its objective, holy fuck
you absolute dumbass, how can you not understand?
You don't even know what objective means
You think because it's biological it's objective
do I need to hold your hand and walk you through it?
its not objective in the sense that its dictated by an outside force
its objective in the sense that it is common among most humans
>
This is your atheists folks
Please read a book, I beg of you
LMAO @ "le read a book"
rather than forming an actual argument
I don't even need to, you think common traits means objective
This is stuff settled centuries ago
Like where did you get this, Sam Harris?
Like even if you really respectable atheist philosophers that would be fine
> Objective because there is a majority consensus
oof, so truth, objectivity, is based on majority consensus?
Thats not how that works, there are plenty of rather convincing arguments for objective morality, but that then basically is in itself an argument for god
@Eoppa And makes sense, still that requires quite in depth knowledge and possibly knowledge of some hebrew to properly execute. I have to read a proper text on the old testament besides just reading the bible from start to finish
lmao who said that
You @Riley ```its objective in the sense that it is common among most humans```
yes
it is common among humans
You will not find a single culture that condones senseless murder
this is because humans evolved morals
I'm going to ignore any historical claims for now, this doesn't make any of that objective
this would have been very useful, because primates are very social creatures
alright maybe it was a poor word choice
do you the point I am trying to make though?
I asked if you believe in an objective morality, if it's a no, then your point is moot, if you believe that primitive evolved instincts is what we should emulate, that's a very very slippery slope
how is it a slippery slope?
wait I don't think that lol
I think that morals simply came from these instincts
they are however, influenced by the enviroment
