People are different, and there are things currently beyond our understanding that influence what they do.
I'm not celebrating anyone's demise, I'm just saying that it's ridiculous that you and Iroscato think that Wyrd of Gawd is "morally wrong". Like some kind of absolute fact. If that's your opinion, fine, but I'd deem it wise to remember that when posting.
Telling people what they "ought" to do is just another way of telling people that you think your cultural/biologically contingent way of life is superior to their culturally/biologically contingent way of life. Simple.
I'm sorry, but where did either abaris or Iroscato tell people what to think or do, or state that their position is superior? Why is it ridiculous to make a moral judgement of someone's actions? I haven't read anything that would indicate they were voicing anything other than their opinion, and I'm not sure where you got that from.
Right, Arbaris didn't, my apologies.
So, having cleared that up, I'll simplify it, because you can't seem to find it.
Iroscato: "all of you twisted mother fuckers who get a kick out of this".
Me: "that's your opinion, you're acting morally superior"
You:1)"Where's the superiority?"
2) "why is it ridiculous to make a moral judgement?"
Me: 1) uhhhh. I dunno. Maybe the part where they go making judgement calls, shunning them like "I am ashamed to share a genome with you". Thought that might be considered as condescending, just my opinion though.
2) To swing your morality around like it's some kind of objective measuring stick is what makes it absurd. Think about it, who the fuck is anyone to tell anyone how to act? I abhor governments and religions for this reason.
Plato had defined Man as an animal, biped and featherless, and was applauded. Diogenes plucked a fowl and brought it into the lecture room with the words,
"Behold Plato's man!"
