If the two are content equivalent, then any statement of the one is equal to the other. That is demonstrably not the case. I gave you examples from both ends, showing you that, how and why any such assertion reduces to self contradiction.(April 4, 2019 at 5:14 pm)Gae Bolga Wrote: No, Acro, you really don't..it's just that you'd rather move on to that after the failure of the last thing.

Lol that’s not a Gish Gallop. You claim that killing your enemies is objectively good.
This is why it's not a good* idea to equivocate between the two.
Quote:I asked you explicitly why is it “objectively good”, and shown a variety of examples where it wouldn’t be objectively good.It's a moral imperative because it's my duty. Doing my duty can be beautiful, ugly, or neutral.
It’s one pretty straightforward question, in which the only reason you don’t seem to want to answer, is because the answer better serves my argument than yours. Lol.
It's my duty to remain faithful to my wife, and beautiful. Its my duty to kill the enemy, and ugly. It's my duty to change a diaper..and meh.
*(wanna equivocate on that use of the word good, too..while you're at it - do you think I'm talking about a moral good or a pretty thing when I say it....or can you tell the difference this time?)
