Insanity can be a defense both in a court of law or in our moral evaluations of an action but that doesn't mean the action was "moral". Moral evaluation may not enter into it.
Quote:You are addressing secular morality where this applies: everything is moral if the perpetrator is ignorant of morals outside of there [sic] sphere of understanding.
You're playing some mental slight of hand there. One moment ago, we were discussing a judge making a mistake based on incomplete or faulty evidence, not morals outside their sphere of understanding. What does that even mean, anyway?
Quote:And you demonstrate ignorance of theistic morality.Well, when you lose an argument, you can always use ad hominems. That was barely more mature than "oh yeah, well, you're stupid, so there."
Quote:Everything isn't knowable.How do you know? And what makes you think you can know about the unknowable? Enough to say what the unknowable morality of God is something you can evaluate to be superior to secular morals?
