Religion is a poor source of morality
#91
RE: Religion is a poor source of morality
But what does that mean, to say there is an objective answer? Honestly, I don't know. How can it be "correct"?

Correct in what way? Surely it depends entirely on what your goals are. If it's just "generally correct"... that seems entirely meaningless.

I don't mean to be a dick, I honestly don't get what this is supposed to mean Smile Go back to my previous example with male versus female wellbeing. What would a "correct" answer mean? Correct in what sense?

If we were omnipotent maybe!? Even then, does omnipotence mean you have the authority to objectively give relative values to conscious beings and their various states? You'd know the outcome of all decisions, so you'd effectively be choosing a state. Which one do you choose?
