Sacrificing our Moral Compasses

[fr0d0]

Well, thanks for not answering the question.

And no, if anyone told me to kill my son, I'd react similarly to Hitchens and say "Fuck you" to whoever told me.

So you don't trust your moral sense?

Interesting, thanks for answering.

No I wouldn't do it either. Would that be weakness or lack of conviction on my part? Probably. I can't imagine how I'd react in that situation.

How about you? How do you reconcile what you've just said given your original point?

The utter surrender of one’s own moral compass to the whims (as the above mentions) of a being is something that I find both disgusting and extremely dangerous.

Isn't selfishness in going against what is right disgusting? Is that how you think society should work?
