CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I believe that raping little children for fun is wrong even if objective (non-human) perspectives say otherwise.
Label that whatever you want to.

An "objective morality" that allows him to be as mendacious as he wishes.

Anyone else who can´t help thinking that "anonymous person" is a group account where several WLC-wannabees work in shifts? ("Hey Peter, Michael has just messed it up big time - he even admitted the intellectual impotence of his argument and escaped to anti-intellectualism. Now it´s your turn. Seems like you better return to page1 of the script...as if nothing had happened.... Good luck!")

Then you are a moral realist afterall, specifically an ethical naturalist.

What does your morality allow for you to be? I can't seem to get an answer from you as to whether or not you are an ethical subjectivist.

That's quite deliberate, seeing as I cannot seem to get an answer from you on any question. Would you like me to post for you the questions I'm still waiting for you to respond to?

Sure. But post all of them. So I can answer all of them. And then I hope you will answer the one question I have asked you.

What? It finally dawns on Jeremy that atheism doesn't preclude moral realism?

Meh, no. You can go back to the threads and answer them there instead of derailing this one.

Because he was responding in the context of your definition of "objective," which has gone through at least 3 alterations by the way.

Atheism does entail nihilism. That is not analogous to saying atheists are nihilists. Most atheists I know are moral realists.
They just have no grounds for being such.
