At least, that´s what you (and I) think about it. Had we lived in Germany in the 1940s, our society would have thought different about it, and you and I might have, either.elman said:

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.

Morality Is Relative
- Thread starter Cre8
- Start date
I am not interested in condemning anyone, but I might try to keep someone from doing to me what he thinks is ok, and I don´t. I don´t need no absolute morality for it. It just requires my subjective conviction.Jacque said:
On another note, everyone who wishes to condemn you can condemn you even if he does not believe in an absolute moral to exist. He can do that entirely subjectively.
You make it sound like declaring one´s subjective moral to be objective (or God-given) would make it so.

If you want to convince me that something is good/right or bad/wrong I expect you to provide me with arguments for that notion.
E.g."Hitler was (or homosexuality or adultery or whatever is) wrong/evil" doesn´t cut it. If you want to establish this notion, you sure can give me good arguments for it.
Merely calling your notion objective doesn´t do anything to convince anyone.
And as long as not everyone has the same view, it´s completely irrelevant whether there is an objective morality out there or not.
Just keep in mind that a hypothetically existing objective morality does not mean that it is the one you hold.

I wouldn't condemn you. The law would, which has nothing to do with morality.Jacque said:

Just because a whole lot of people think something is right, doesn't make it right. It just means a whole lot of people are wrong.

Sure, but this wasn´t my claim nor did I mean to imply it.rebelEnigma said:
Then again someone saying "It is right because the god of my concept says it´s right" doesn´t make things right, either.
(emphasis added)
I´m not sure you really mean it the way you have worded your conclusion here.
