What IS good, and how do we determine it?

-Said the moral objectivist......

No one can be this clueless without help.....sigh.

I would be contradicting myself only if I said it was morally wrong to write and story tell in the way people did thousands of years ago. Which I never said.

You can't be both a moral objectivist and then claim that things were different in another time, that another culture's mores don't apply now. That's what Rhythm is saying.

You are correct that the Catholics out in Africa helping people and aiding the poor are not out there passing out condoms. Nonetheless, can we still be grateful that they are out there helping the poor, even though they are not providing contraception to kids? 

I mean, that's more than either of us are doing lol. At least at this time.

I say this because I don't really agree that it should be right to bash people who are helping others because they are failing to do one thing that you would be doing. At least they're out there doing something.

I feel like this needs to be addressed. These people are going to a place that is being ravaged by AIDS, and telling them that condoms are evil, and that they will go to hell for using them. Condoms aren't only for contraception. They are also fantastically effective at preventing the spread of venereal disease. To call them evil in a place that desperately needs them is, in itself, abominable.


If I offer a starving man a loaf of bread, then shoot him in the knee, I am evil.
