Off you go then ;-). It makes no difference.
theVOID Wrote:You have the right to condemn people who do the things you find repulsive, but if it's simply "I find x repulsive" then you have no obligation to condemn or prevent it, but if something is morally bad, then it is something we have reason to prevent or condemn. So, like I said, saying something is morally wrong but we shouldn't do anything about it makes no sense.
See this is what you beleive. It is not what I said.
theVOID Wrote:No, we only determine our values, whether or not our values are morally good or bad is something else. Opinion and morality aren't interchangeable. There aren't just two options, "universal code" and "i like", we also have relationships to consider, how my actions and intentions affect other people, that is the "us" part of morality and talking about values in terms of "us" what morality is about.
Ummm, no. Once again it is but your opinion.
theVOID Wrote:"Moral for me" and "Moral for you" make about as much sense as "my logic" and "your logic"
You certainly have a very strange way to look at the World.
theVOID Wrote:Do you not see where you went wrong there? You've taken the definition for "morally wrong", equated it with "wrong" (in the common sense), and then used that to say unacceptable == morally wrong.
The definition or wrong was taken from a dictionary. One which 'most' people see as being correct.
theVOID Wrote:If something is taboo it only means that a particular society deems it to be unacceptable to them. Again, premarital sex is taboo in some cultures, does that make it morally wrong?
In that culture, for the majority, yes. Generally people who are on the fringes don't have a say and are rarely able to make a difference.
