Quote:No there are fine lines that need thrashing out... that doesn't equate to morality being wholly subjective - just that there are grey areas. On a large scale societies are different and would have to interpret the moral laws to fit... the moral laws remain constant tho'.
To be honest drinking doesn't thrill me at all. Painting on the other hand sounds fun. Can we maybe use paintball guns? Pleeeze?
I agree. Obviously there needs to be a collective agreement for how to act morally based on treatment and fairness of each other. It seems we each have a common opinion based on the treatment of others. Some opinions may differ but thats normal. Like I agree on spanking children for diciplinary reasons while I disagree with caning. Also, read up on how morality was viewed in the dark ages. Torture was an ok thing back then. So was burning at the stake. Those lines that you and I would never cross, well people back then crossed over that line all the time. Morality is very much subjective.
Paintballs you say? Now that sounds like fun! Never tried it though.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
