This is what I said:
Objective morality doesn't mean there is only one rule to follow blindly. It just means the rules aren't made up by society, by opinion, government edict, or by whim.
Lying is always wrong. But if a lie prevents a monstrous harm to other humans it is justified morally. Consequences always have to be taken into account.
Moral relativism are the rules made up by cultural convention, by society, by opinion. Some societies felt human sacrifice, genocide, liquidating the disabled and mentally retarded was justified and a major benefit to society.
You seem profoundly stupid. And everyone knows you are a troll. So, fuck off.
But you said that YOU decide which moral rule to follow by each situation.
How so?
Is that a fact?
Why? You post on a political forum and don't want to interact with someone who asks you about things you say?
This is a contradiction, no? If lying is always wrong then it is never right to lie. But you said it is "justified."
not with you, you're a troll
That's not a valid argument, is it?
Ad hominem. I am saying you ALWAYS argue in bad faith. Plus I think you genuinely are an idiot. And I think you are merely trying to add posts so you can charge more for advertising.
How is it an ad hominem?
Why do you say that?
That's an ad hominem. See the difference?
Seriously?
You take pleasure in annoying others. I do not. Stop playing this game, everyone hates it. Grow the fuck up.
What gave you that impression?
So you say.
What game? Who's "everyone"?
What does that mean?
Telling a white lie to prevent monstrous harm to other humans is objectively the right thing to do.
Not everyone thought that.
Fascists, rightwing nationalists, Vichy French in Europe thought collaboration with Nazis was justified and they would help Nazis find Jews, because by the subjective standards of their society/peers their nation would benefit.
White, green, blue--all lies.
Kantians do not agree.
Objective morality doesn't say there is only one right way to follow a rule. Only Kant said that.
All objective morality says is that there are universal eternal laws which are not subject to opinion, cultural convention, government edict.
So, eternal laws state you should judge each situation based on consequence. Correct?
What "eternal laws"?
Ask Cypress you dolt, I was referring to his post. You jerkoff.
I'm asking you, since you mentioned it, too.
Are you getting a handle on what ad hominems are yet?
