So don't strawman me again weakling

2020-03-10 00:25:59 UTC  

woah we bringing out the personal insults

2020-03-10 00:26:05 UTC  

Yes because you strawmaned me

2020-03-10 00:26:19 UTC  

Here let me do it again. You're a weakling for strawmaning me instead of addressing my actual argument

2020-03-10 00:26:27 UTC  

So, you gonna address the actual argument now, or what?

2020-03-10 00:26:31 UTC  

those two ideas go hand in hand

2020-03-10 00:26:46 UTC  

you need to justify the morality of something in order to see something as moral

2020-03-10 00:26:51 UTC  

No they don't. I know fascist atheists who are moral in terms of how they act. And yet they still can't justify their morality

2020-03-10 00:26:52 UTC  

No

2020-03-10 00:26:56 UTC  

That's obviously incorrect

2020-03-10 00:27:16 UTC  

i am saying that that was not a strawman

2020-03-10 00:27:28 UTC  

And I'm saying it was a strawman because i never said you cant be moral without god

2020-03-10 00:27:36 UTC  

Being moral means acting out in a moral manner

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1889186116300385

The results of what we've seen of treatment to rapists and sex offenders offer positive results as the reduction rates can be over a dozen or higher with just limited attention to these programs

2020-03-10 00:27:45 UTC  

Many people act out in a moral manner and yet can't justify it

Meaning the reduction will rise with the ability to concentrate more on these methods

2020-03-10 00:28:04 UTC  

I bet if you ask someone who's 80 iq a deeply philosophical question about why what he does is moral, he wouldn't really be able to justify it, now would he

Meaning the prison system as it stands doesn't stop rapists as much as even the low standard limited treatment does

2020-03-10 00:28:27 UTC  

Cool but thatโ€™s not the point

2020-03-10 00:28:32 UTC  

It is the point

2020-03-10 00:28:39 UTC  

People justify their morality based on their โ€œright and wrongโ€

2020-03-10 00:28:43 UTC  

I'm demonstrating how they don't go hand it hand

2020-03-10 00:28:51 UTC  

Thatโ€™s based on what theyโ€™ve heard and their empathy

2020-03-10 00:28:54 UTC  

Thats emotions

2020-03-10 00:29:20 UTC  

Irrelevant? Stop shifting the goal post. Do you now agree after what I said, that acting our in a moral manner doesn't necessitate knowing why your morality is good?

2020-03-10 00:30:07 UTC  

You donโ€™t need to bring iq into it is what i meant

2020-03-10 00:30:29 UTC  

Yes I agree

2020-03-10 00:30:49 UTC  

But Iโ€™m saying that you can justify morality based on your emotions

2020-03-10 00:31:22 UTC  

If you feel pity for someone because theyโ€™re crying, then you should think what made them cry is bad

2020-03-10 00:31:25 UTC  

No wait hold on a second

2020-03-10 00:31:31 UTC  

I won't let you get out of that one bucko

2020-03-10 00:31:45 UTC  

So you agree that you did in fact strawman me, as I never once said that atheists cannot be moral?

2020-03-10 00:33:02 UTC  

Imagine not understanding that morality can work without religion

2020-03-10 00:33:20 UTC  

Simply because I said it doesnโ€™t mean itโ€™s wrong

2020-03-10 00:33:32 UTC  

Its a yes or no question kiddo

2020-03-10 00:33:48 UTC  

Very simple. Or is your ego obstructing you from admitting that you mischaracterized my position?

2020-03-10 00:34:53 UTC  

Are you really going to prevent the argument from moving forward because of a mistake in what I said

2020-03-10 00:35:31 UTC  

Oh no I'm not preventing it from moving on. I'm demanding you admit you made the mistake by strawmaning me. If your ego is obstructing you from conceding such a MINOR point, why the hell would I assume you would be genuine enough to consede some MAJOR point?

@moira

2020-03-10 00:36:14 UTC  

Conceded it was a mistake.

2020-03-10 00:36:29 UTC  

Indirectly. Say it directly. Say I admit i strawmaned you
