If you go off Biblical morality you should respect your enemies
Yes respect your enemies always. Eye for an eye regards justice.
Respect your enemies as you would your friends
If you go with Biblical morality, then it is contradicting itself because, you can't both follow the natural law, or go by with your natural/humane feelings and respect your enemies as you would your friends, since hate and disrespect towards your enemies is something very natural and very humane.
Natural =/= happens in nature
Obviously, but my point still stands.
If this is obvious to you, what you said is nonsense
Explain how it's nonsense, then.
Natural law pertains to natures, the ideal form of man. Respect and love is greater than hate and disrespect in regards to the perfect man.
The natural law is a body of principles and morals that strictly follow what's natural for a human to do. Showing hate and disrespect towards your enemies is very humane, and therefore by respecting your enemies as you would your friends, you're violating the natural law.
make the distinction/////////
@Koninos what is natural is not synonymous with what happens in nature, clearly you don't find this obvious.
I find this obvious but yet my point still stands.
literally the example i showed proves u wrong
Not really.
Not unless your definition of natural law is different.
ur being disingenuous
And what does this prove exactly? That hate or disrespect doesn't exist in the physical world without the people controlling it? i can't see how that proves me wrong.
ur not making the distinction and instead saying that natural is "usual way that a person or an animal behaves that is part of their character"
How am I being genuinely dishonest? To start with, I never said that natural is the way a person or an animal behaves that is part of their character, because that would mean that a psychopath behaves naturally. What I said, is that all feelings that one can feel are natural, and for religious people, constructions of God. Hate is one of the many feelings that we humans can feel -thanks to God, if you're religious- and hence is natural. Same with disrespect. Therefore, by respecting your enemy as much as you would respect your friend, you defy nature, and hence this "biblical morality" of some sort, is contradicting its own self.
semantics debates are useless.... but anyway thats literally the same thing since both refers to the the basic or inherent features, character, or qualities of something
**PHILOSOPHY QUESTION**
**Is truth objective or subjective and what about morality?**
<@&682288520680964151>
truth is objective
to say truth is subjective is in itself an objective statement
which is self contradictory
I disagree.
why
I ain't no expert.
im asking why you think that truth is subjective
But if you're looking at a galactic level truth we as humans are simply limited by our sensory organs.
We perceive things within our limitations.
Is there a human truth? Is it objective?
Maybe.
But us as a species arent capable of observing the absolute truth.
ive heard that argument so many times, literally ignores the metaphysical and spiritual side of humanity.
I dont know what you want me to say to that.
