And you can't seem to comprehend that you cannot divorce logic from establishing absolute morals.I'm just waiting for you to admit you would have sex with children if society told you it was OK.Your response tells me that you believe I was wrong, right? That I wronged you?you wroteThat's insane. It never crossed my mind.you really don't think about what you write you just speculate that I am trying to make a profit from killing animals
That you behave like most human beings.what is that other than an assumption about me?
I already did.So why don't you tell me what elicits strong feelings from me?
So you shouldn't have a problem answering the question I asked. Do you believe it is wrong for others to eat animal products?And I never said eating animals was wrong did I? I said I don't eat animals. Why do you have to put your value judgements on my behavior?
I didn't ask you to tell others anything. I asked you if you believe it is wrong for others to eat animal products? Do you?And It's not my place to tell other people what they should do or to judge them for things they do. That seems to be what you want me to do so you can try for some gotcha moment.
Is it wrong to call someone who is stupid dummy?and I see you have stared with the name calling again so it seems that you haven't "discovered" the rules of logic yet because you fall to avoid the ad hominem trap
And I have explained why you are wrong.I have explained why behaviors and attitudes evolve in a society and it has nothing to do with some magic code floating around for people to discover. In fact it's even simpler than that because there is no need to assign some supernatural force as responsible for it.
Yes, for logical reasons because errors couldn't stand. Morals are effectively standards. For any given thing there exists a standard which is the highest possible standard. This standard exists independent of anything else. It is in effect a universal standard. It exists for a reason. When we deviate from this standard and normalize our deviance from the standard, eventually the reason the standard exists will be discovered. The reason this happens is because error cannot stand. Eventually error will fail and the truth will be discovered. Thus proving that morals cannot be anything we want them to be but are indeed based upon some universal code of common decency that is independent of man.Our behaviors have evolved so as to best encourage the survival of the human race.
" So if a farmer is unnecessarily killing males, it is wrong. I don't see anyone celebrating it, other than maybe you who is trying to profit from it to rationalize there is no such thing as good and bad when logic clearly says otherwise. You lose again. "
So why do you speculate such a thing about me?
You insist on making this argument personal which tells me you cannot support your position in any other way that by trying to get me to contradict myself. I won't
ANd the only thing you said so far that I agree with is that morals can be whatever we want them to be.
But there is no universal code.
I did it to prove that point, dummy.
You cannot wrong me as you are an anonymous poster on an internet board.
But since you cannot continue without the childish name calling and you cannot follow the tenets of logic that have been established for argument I have my proof that logic is not universal
Personally I think that is fucked up and don't care what society says. Logic says it is wrong.
Case in point, I believe abortion is wrong and don't care what society thinks.
And I won't do that.
But you can't seem to comprehend that you cannot divorce yourself from the influence of the society you were raised in. Those beliefs have been ingrained in you since birth and reinforced your entire life by your interaction with countless people.
We are more the children of society than we are of our parents.
That might be true but both logic and morals are created by man so no matter how you slice it they are both human constructions
