Weasel out of what? U said not all abortions are immoral, so some are, now ur changing it
An argument doesn't fail cos u provided examples where it does. If that were the case then the assertion that stabbing an innocent person is immoral also fails
All you've done is now declare that causing pain is never immoral, an obvious error
And your changing what u said just before, why? Cos im happy to accept your understanding
Anyway your contention obviously exceeded's your ability to understand an opposing view. Back to the cotton fields for me I guess...
The Grand Nudger Wrote:"Following the rules of scripture" a whole hell of alot would be forbidden - but that's no indication that their taboo status is warranted by some ethical provision. Abortion, though...fine by scripture. Suspicious of your wife? Put her through the ordeal of the bitter waters. She has no choice in the matter. As far as problems with scriptural morals.....history and the present moment is a running account
You've confused magic book and it's necessarily subjective morality for moral realism.
Here we go, triggered. Calm down mate we can talk about your hatred of "the magic book" another time. It has nothing to do with the issue
All I was saying is without a "magic book" y'all need a way to discern morality from immorality.
A lot of you guys really need some kind of framework for morals and the video provides it. Looks like u didn't watch it and got triggered by my mentioning "the magic book"
Anyway im starting to realize that reason and understanding isn't your objective making this conversation pointless really.
I like to understand the opposing view, you guys don't. That's the difference between us
U guys should go toe to toe. Brian u were so outraged at me adding the "after birth abortion" option.
Well he supports it... Unleash the same indignant outrage on him then if your true to your word
