-and since i'll be out of town for a bit, and having cleared up your miscincpetions regarding the moralities of others -
Lets you and I, objectivist to oibjectivist have a talk. We say that child rape is wrong bevcause it harms the child. However, can that really be true, is it really wrong for that reason..or is that just our opinion?
After all, biblegod, in magic book, orders his chosen people to slaughter a town and take the small girls. He must have a different opinion of child rape - and whether or not it's wrong. Something is amiss. Would he, being good, and good being objective, order something like that if child rape really was wrong because it harmed the child? What else harms children? Being mauled by bears? Again, are you sure? Come to think of it...there's a hell of alot of harm i general going on in magic book. Is harm really the reason that -anything- is wrong?
