Hello, Anyone interested in a debate?

Sorry for belaboring this point. What do you mean by hijacking a person's decision making process? It appears you are saying the higher moral ideas are not being accessed or acted upon at that time. Which I am more than willing to accept. Now would we say such for every immoral action? That every immoral action is simply a moment of higher moral ideas being inaccessible to our person?
 If so I think we are still in the same boat. As we would say the person's actions are always morally acceptable since they are either acting rightly or they are acting in a diminished capacity and not to be judged as acting wrongly. Thus, every action is moral or amoral and no action is immoral.

No, it's not like the person is unconscious.  If I'm having sex with a woman who's not my wife, and my sexual desire supercedes my world view as the main behavioral motivator, I'm still aware that what I'm doing is wrong.  If I go through with it, could I have acted otherwise?  Could my love, if deep enough, have "fought back," and brought my moral systems back on line in time to prevent the consummation of the immoral act?  Maybe, maybe not.  But this is irrelevant to whether the act is right or not.  It's subjectively wrong if my world view hold that kind of act as wrong, without regard to how things play out.
