Objective Morals+

RE: Objective Morals+
(March 13, 2013 at 12:28 pm)John V Wrote: That’s an interesting preface, considering that plenty of atheists believe that morality is subjective.
I happen to be one of them. See my previous posts because I think once again you're confusing "subjective" with "solipsism". I hope we don't need to rehash our discussion that subjective morality does not mean all opinions share an equal footing or that "anything goes".

Quote:The fact that there are such things as rape show that the social contract is not universally recognized as correct morality.
...or that some people are amoral.

You do realize, I hope, that the absence of X isn't an alternative version of X, right?

Bald isn't an alternative hairstyle. Clear isn't an alternative color. Amorality isn't an alternative moral code.

Quote:First, do you mean sentient or sapient?
I mean what I wrote.

Quote:Second, why is that the cutoff, and why isn’t that cutoff subjective?
What alternative would you suggest? Moral obligations to rocks?

Quote:That’s not really relevantm, but it’s interesting. What are the counts?
Actually it is relevant, considering it relates to my entire point of religion's conflict of interest.

The count for the 10 Commandments is 6/10 or 60% relate to victimless crimes.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."

"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
