Like I said, there are some subjective attributes

2019-08-30 04:34:00 UTC  

religion and culture influences our biological morals

2019-08-30 04:34:23 UTC  

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

2019-08-30 04:34:34 UTC  

to them, the moral thing to do was kill people so the world would not end

2019-08-30 04:34:38 UTC  

does this mean they were right?

2019-08-30 04:34:38 UTC  

no

2019-08-30 04:34:46 UTC  

just primitive

2019-08-30 04:34:52 UTC  

So are you telling me that because morality changes its objective, holy fuck

2019-08-30 04:35:06 UTC  

you absolute dumbass, how can you not understand?

2019-08-30 04:35:09 UTC  

You don't even know what objective means

2019-08-30 04:35:19 UTC  

You think because it's biological it's objective

2019-08-30 04:35:24 UTC  

do I need to hold your hand and walk you through it?

2019-08-30 04:35:34 UTC  

its not objective in the sense that its dictated by an outside force

2019-08-30 04:35:55 UTC  

its objective in the sense that it is common among most humans

2019-08-30 04:36:04 UTC

2019-08-30 04:36:21 UTC  

This is your atheists folks

2019-08-30 04:36:39 UTC  

Please read a book, I beg of you

2019-08-30 04:36:47 UTC  

LMAO @ "le read a book"

2019-08-30 04:36:58 UTC  

rather than forming an actual argument

2019-08-30 04:37:19 UTC  

I don't even need to, you think common traits means objective

2019-08-30 04:37:21 UTC  

low IQ

2019-08-30 04:37:31 UTC  

This is stuff settled centuries ago

2019-08-30 04:38:10 UTC  

Like where did you get this, Sam Harris?

2019-08-30 04:40:34 UTC  

Like even if you really respectable atheist philosophers that would be fine

2019-08-30 09:34:32 UTC  

> 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

2019-08-30 09:35:38 UTC  

@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

2019-08-30 13:05:56 UTC  

lmao who said that

2019-08-30 16:58:51 UTC  

You @Riley ```its objective in the sense that it is common among most humans```

2019-08-30 17:06:24 UTC  

yes

2019-08-30 17:06:29 UTC  

it is common among humans

2019-08-30 17:07:01 UTC  

You will not find a single culture that condones senseless murder

2019-08-30 17:07:25 UTC  

this is because humans evolved morals

2019-08-30 17:07:55 UTC  

I'm going to ignore any historical claims for now, this doesn't make any of that objective

2019-08-30 17:07:56 UTC  

this would have been very useful, because primates are very social creatures

2019-08-30 17:08:12 UTC  

alright maybe it was a poor word choice

2019-08-30 17:08:19 UTC  

do you the point I am trying to make though?

2019-08-30 17:09:43 UTC  

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

2019-08-30 17:10:13 UTC  

how is it a slippery slope?

2019-08-30 17:10:59 UTC  

wait I don't think that lol

2019-08-30 17:11:07 UTC  

I think that morals simply came from these instincts

2019-08-30 17:11:17 UTC  

they are however, influenced by the enviroment
