Determinism.....

Tiberius: Well I am more of an absolutist than relativist and for me I would have to save the many not the few. Killing the few may be bad but isn't it the lesser of two evils.

Not necessarily... the few may have been very wise and benevolent leaders, and the many may have been rash and malevolent vagrants.

In general, that would be the lesser of the two evils... but that doesn't mean that it is absolutely less evil...

I suppose the value of the life of both are still the same, though of course it does throw a spanner in the works.

Well you can only really go by what you know, and if you dont know whos in the train you can only go by the lesser of two evils.

The fact that some people have different morals doesn't prove that some of them arn't wrong because of a absolute moral law.

??? What absolute moral law? Surely you instead meant that some morals are 'wrong' because they are unjust?

Yeah because they are unjust, but they are unjust because certain things are wrong and certain things are right (ie: an absolute moral law).[/quote]
