People who say that there are no moral truths or that morality is relative ought


Thread replies: 13

People who say that there are no moral truths or that morality is relative ought to be executed or exiled by the State, as those who do not accept any moral authority as being above human opinion cannot be trusted to obey the civil law, nor can they be trusted not to pervert the civil law to their own ends if put in positions of political or judicial authority.

And, obviously, any academics that teach such positions in any setting other than "devil's advocate" ought to be removed from their positions and stripped of their degrees/doctorates as a form of public disgrace.

Murder is a sin.

what's that christfag? I couldn't hear you with your mouth full of Dostoevsky dick

srs tho, if everyone accepted that what we consider 'moral' is - no matter how we rhetorically dress it up - entirely founded upon self-interest, self-preservation and self-determination, then there would be no need for violence or crime. A society privileging egoism above any other moral creed would necessarily require each egoist to co-operate with each other, because that would be the most profitable way of serving their own self as an end in itself.

I think that's what Donald Trump was trying to say.

What if they have a strict moral code that doesn't line up with the law?

People need an impetus not to commit atrocities: this is why Christianity is important.

Since when does the notion that morality is relative automatically coincide with a lack of morality?

What if someone believes in a moral truth that requires them to disobey a civil law?

This is really the main reason people think monotheists are dumb. They just can't give up the position that the world would go up in flames without them.
