The Moral Argument for God

[athrock]

Next, which of these would you say is or was acceptable EVER:

1. child abuse
   
2. terrorism
   
3. racial discrimination
   
4. rape
   
5. murder (not merely "killing")
   

If one or more of these was or is ever to be accepted or condoned, please provide some explanation of the conditions under which it/they would be or were acceptable.

(my numbers)

1. How were children treated before child labor laws. And what of other countries that do not have child labor laws?
   
2. Terrorism was acceptable to the union when they were fighting England.
   
3. The bible condones racial discrimination and then there is slavery at which time Blacks were not even considered human.
   
4. The bible condones rape
   
5. War is murder
   

You didn't really answer the question because you wanted to avoid admitting that one or more of these things was an example of an Objective Moral Value.

Can't have that, now can we?

Besides, I never asked you whether the BIBLE condones racial discrimination or rape. I asked if YOU condone them.

So, stop dodging and answer the question.

(not merely "killing")

See, rationalizing already.  If we change the meaning then it is all ok.  That is how it works.

The meaning is not being changed...it's being manipulated by you.

Murder is the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

But not all killing is unlawful.

Therefore, not all killing is murder.
