Proving What We Already "Know"
RE: Proving What We Already "Know"
Right, and the harm being present in the one world, and not present in another, answers the question of whether or not it would be bad to do x. That is a realist justification in both worlds..whether it's deemed good or bad. If in one world homosexuals really couldn't have children and in the other, like in ours they could..for example. Circumstances can be factually different, don't you think..and if differences of factual circumstances matter to moral considerations..guess what that is, again? Moral realism. Whether or not the idea that homosexuality is bad occurs to a given subject is completely irrelevant to whether or not homosexuality is bad in moral realism. Additionally, whether or not the perfect world is represented in reality is completely immaterial to moral realism, as you just noted yourself..what is, and what ought to be, not the same.

We can repeat this allover again with the question of whether or not it's bad to not have children. Let's try to figure something out because this seems to be a major stumbling block to you being able to answer the question you asked in the op. Where on earth do you get your ideas about moral realism, what it would mean, and what it would entail, from?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
