-another "Why be good?" from a catholic.....
Sure, a person -could- make that appeal..and many do. There's no necessity, no need. If you feel a need, then...by all means, continue to do so. Whatever keeps your hands from strangling people is a-ok with me.
Ha ha. "I have gained this by philosophy, to do without being commanded what other do for fear of the law." - Aristotle
I am arguing a person must make such an appeal otherwise they will act according to subjectivity (in which every act is right) or they will be acting according to utility (in which case the action is right based solely on the end and not the means).
A: person appeals to a fictitious entity
B: person acts according to subjectivity
b2 in which every act is right (lol......classy, btw)
or
C: person acts according to utility
c2 in which every action is right (still classy)
That about sum up my options? That the entire breadth of the field? You haven't tried to take liberties with any of that, I assume? I couldn't, for example, mention that our moralities (you and I, specifically) are subjective....and that many of your acts are wrong? I could not concede that your fictitious appeal might help you to keep your hands off other peoples necks..that you might need it, and still tell you that if god is why you keep your hands off a persons neck that you are morally defective?
