Moral relativism

[Hume]

You already know where it is. We have covered it ad nauseam.

I thought you were just defining yourself as an ethical consequentialist?

Not once did I use that phrase. That is the phrase that you used.

Yes, obviously.

 

[ZenMode]

Yes, obviously.

Back to my position, which you apparently disagree with.

Given the impact on the victim, can you tell me a scenario where female genital mutation is moral?

 

[Into the Night]

you are not bright.

Illiteracy: subjective used as objective. Failure to capitalize the first letter of a sentence.

 

[Into the Night]

I am talking about morality and what is truly relevant when discussing morality.

You don't seem to know what a moral is. You keep thinking an event is a moral. Now you try to claim a moral is unimportant?!?
That's just saying that YOU are unimportant!

An event it not a moral.

Derp.

Double derp.

That's just saying that YOU are unimportant!

Triple derp.

I coherent babbling.

Ignored.

Morality isn't an event.

morals are a set of attitudes and behaviors that facilitate voluntary, cooperative, and mutually beneficial relationships.

I agree with that.

I agree with that.

this is breakthrough progress.

Trying to deny what you are won't work.
DON'T TRY TO DENY YOUR OWN POSTS!

Not really. This was my definition all along, from my very first post.

morals are a set of attitudes and behaviors that facilitate voluntary, cooperative, and mutually beneficial relationships.

Therefore, a gang member figures it is moral to attack a rival gang because it provides a beneficial relationship to his own gang.

Yes, I mentioned it earlier, but people who are religious tend to believe that morals come from their sky wizard.

Between the moral relativists and the religious people, that covers the majority of everyone because people tend to look at morality the wrong way. They look at the behavior of the person, not the impact of the behavior.

The people most actively trying to suppress female genital mutilation are human rights and social justice groups, which typically attract staff and volunteers from a lefty-social justice worldview

I really don't think there are a measurable amount of MAGA morons working for social justice NGOs focused on Africa and the global south.

no. attacking is not within the set of pro social behaviors.

he is to build trust with members of the other gang and dissolve false identities into a single community of love bound individuals.

I know you hate peace, baby killer, but the devil is being flushed by jesus.

What is it specifically about the act of cutting off a teenage girl's clitoris that you find to be immoral?

@Into the Night

Still waiting.

I mean, you have been on and off this site so many times since the question was asked, yet you refuse to answer it.
