Atheism and vegetarianism

[Edwardo Piet]

Agreed, but he still couldn't criticise cannibals who wanted to eat some liver with fava beans and a nice chianti.

Not so by his moral code if he is a personal ethical egoist. He can say what he likes about others if he subscribes to that, it is only he who has to pursue his self interest.

I'm a psychological egoist. I posit that people are only capable of acting in their own self interest. That makes the concept of 'should' moot.

Ok well that's cleared that up.

I agree with you. But I think that others' interests are often part of our own self interests. Our 'us' is part of our 'me'.
