Slavery will never be morally right, even if the mightiest makes laws that allow it.

Is it morally right that Christians can be killed in certain Muslim countries, just because the mightiest rule those countries?
Morality is not a fixed value. To the muslim killing Christians in a MORAL OBLIGATION lest you be found a infidel yourself for not following the teaching of mo-ham. with in those borders for the million upon millions who live there it is indeed morally right to kill.

The only time it ceases being morally right is when a bigger badder people come along and topple that society, and demand they adopt their 'morality.' in either case the might of the many define the right and wrong of the people.

Quote:for everyone in that country yes. That is what morality is. One can only say it is not right if and only if they belong to a greater group.


We are obviously defining "morality" differently.

When I speak of morality, I am referring to decisions and actions that effect other's well being. A decision or action is morally good, if it positively effects someone's well being, or does not harm their well being, or is neutral to their well being. It is immoral of it harms other's well being.

The Muslims with the power in the countries that are killing Christians, may believe they are moral (according to their doctrine), but since they are harming other's well being, they are not. You know how you can tell? Ask those who are being killed if they are morally okay with being killed.

I understand why you have to defend 'might makes right', because your religious texts are rife with examples of it perpetrated by your god.

I guess I have to give you some kudos for defending 'might makes right', even if Christians are on the wrong end of it, lest you be guilty of special pleading.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
