Quote:Are you suggesting that while morality is merely subjective that justice is objective? On what basis do you make the statement that the justifications are not just? If it is merely based on some subjective criteria of "justness" then why should anyone listen? Without some objective basis for justice then your evaluation only has meaning for you and those who agree with you.Justice is 'what one deserves'. Morality is 'what is acceptable'. Neither of these are objective... but they are based on entirely different principles. I used the wrong word when I said 'those justifications are not just'... i meant 'those justifications are not logical' (nor are they fair, or sound).
In example of why I mean this: you punish someone for being evil... because you created them specifically to be evil. You let one family escape the situation by 'choosing' you... when you designed them with choosing you in your intent. Why would you punish what you designed for doing its task perfectly? There is no logic in even having created anything in the first place... let alone destroying a system that worked to the letter of your design (considering that 'God' is perfect and stuff
).Quote:That one family provides evidence that Chatpilot's statement was not correct. That was my point.What statement? Your point is that god shows extreme favoritism to a very small handful of the population... while he brutally annihilates those who stand against his hand-picked band of people?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
