I'm thinking through ways it could be considered a valid question and there are none
If God told him to commit a cardinal sin he would do it, because piety is a higher virtue than being unsinful
Yeah
This hypothetical is meant to strip the focus down to one virtue
or to the underlying one
There's so many things wrong with it
I could go on all night
Do so
The only possible situation this could arise in is in a failed tribe
which is obvious
a situation that is not only uncommon (because the only "way to survive is rape")
but it's pretty common to see your objective morality go right out the fucking window when you realize things are going to end
A tribe with some form of objective morality wouldn't hold up well either in this scenario
Anyways, that last point is a lot less hard hitting than the others
The other criticisms I have would not be my go-to ones
This would be my main one, to be quite honest
the answer would have to be "yes" or "God wouldn't do that" (which is the same as me saying "This would never happen")
Argue with him claiming that BECAUSE God wouldn't do that he has a moral stand now, just to cover it all
even if he claims God wouldn't do that, what's the difference between that claim and my claim of "This is an unrealistic scenario"?
Because with God it's a definitive
Pretty sure your only option to survive is going to definitively not be to rape the nearest tribe....
you'd have to be in an extremely isolated area
there'd have to be some reason you have a shortage of women
Food being the most likely cause
At that point, a lack of women isn't your real problem
Chemicals in the water the turn the womb gay
lol
anyway
it can be easily reasoned his situation is not possible
Don't attack that one scenario, the thing about unrealistic scenarios is that they can be put above each other ad infinitum until they're of relevant size
The best response is just to not respond to it at all
which is what I did
I waited until he left
^
Well, then you won the discussion but lost the war of ideas
though, he winded up giving himself a response and arguing for me, and I did respond to that, which I shouldn't have done either
In other words
You're gay
You are gay
Thou art a faggot
I think pointing out the inherent hypocrisy of the question would have served me well
