Hello, Anyone interested in a debate?

[Mister Agenda]

Indeed another one.  There are a little more than a billion of us 

Which interestingly enough makes for a funny thing.  If utility is determined by what brings about the most good for the most people then it is built upon argumentum ad numerum (argument to the number) in which case the validity of a position is determined by the number of people who hold that position.  So if a more than a billion people say something is correct is it not thereby determined as ethically correct under utilitarianism even if it is not necessarily morally correct?  I am going to have to give that some thought.

Nonetheless.  It is a pleasure to meet you.

There are not nearly that many Catholics on AtheistForums.org.

The 'greatest good for the greatest number' is an axiom, not an argument; so the fallacy does not apply in this case, so the validity of a position is not determined by the number of people who hold the position. So if more than a billion people say something is correct it is not thereby determined as ethically correct under utilitarianism; which is concerned with what is good for people, not what they wish to be considered good.
