Not A Poll: Does Motivation Affect Morality?

[Excited Penguin]

I never said it's perfect.

It's less than perfect, it's self-refuting:  How can the law determine (or even enforce) morality if moral acts can run afoul of the law?

It's not "self-refuting", it it were, you would be living in an anarchy. It works. It doesn't work flawlessly but it obviously does work. And we are improving on it with every passing year. Nothing has to be perfect and nothing ever will be, but aiming for it is a good thing.

The law does determine and enforce morality regardless of whatever other arguments you can come up with. The police, the courts, the rulemakers, they're all both controlling and responsible for your life, for all of our lives. That's a moral system at work. I'm not sure how much more I can point out obvious stuff and having it be dismissed before I get annoyed with the pointless banter that it is.
