So don't strawman me again weakling
woah we bringing out the personal insults
Yes because you strawmaned me
Here let me do it again. You're a weakling for strawmaning me instead of addressing my actual argument
So, you gonna address the actual argument now, or what?
those two ideas go hand in hand
you need to justify the morality of something in order to see something as moral
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
No
That's obviously incorrect
i am saying that that was not a strawman
And I'm saying it was a strawman because i never said you cant be moral without god
Being moral means acting out in a moral manner

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
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
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
Cool but thatโs not the point
It is the point
I'm demonstrating how they don't go hand it hand
Thatโs based on what theyโve heard and their empathy
Thats emotions
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?
You donโt need to bring iq into it is what i meant
Yes I agree
But Iโm saying that you can justify morality based on your emotions
If you feel pity for someone because theyโre crying, then you should think what made them cry is bad
No wait hold on a second
I won't let you get out of that one bucko
So you agree that you did in fact strawman me, as I never once said that atheists cannot be moral?
Imagine not understanding that morality can work without religion
Simply because I said it doesnโt mean itโs wrong
Its a yes or no question kiddo
Very simple. Or is your ego obstructing you from admitting that you mischaracterized my position?
Are you really going to prevent the argument from moving forward because of a mistake in what I said
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?
> Are you really going to prevent the argument from moving forward because of a mistake in what I said
@moira
Conceded it was a mistake.
Indirectly. Say it directly. Say I admit i strawmaned you
