My Darwin Slave Challenge

[Mobezom]

Nature isn't my God. Nature just... is. I don't worship it, and I don't follow its commandments.

Nature is the charging elephant. You don't have to worship it, but it would be prudent to not get in its way.

 

[Larniavc]

I'm talking about Homos.

What an outrageously prejudiced thing to.......

oh, see what you mean.

 

[Jimmy D]

I appreciate that there is a lot of trolling going on in this thread but this board has reached a new low. Pathetic.

 

[Mobezom]

Don't assume I'm A BIGOT SCREAMING ABOUT TEH GAYS, because I might just be making nonsensical questions about whether a metaphor supports slavery.

 

[JackRT]

Yes. Nature is evil by man's standards. I really don't get why people don't see his question and reason for doing so. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

Nature is not evil by any standards. Only an intelligent, self aware entity can be evil.

I thought it was hilarious. But I guess that depends on perspective.

So you believe slavery is not immoral and an okay practice?

 

[JackRT]

So you believe slavery is not immoral and an okay practice?

For an intelligent self aware moral entity to enslave another self aware moral entity is an evil.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Is JackRT nature now?

 

[JackRT]

Is JackRT nature now?

Is it just me or is this thread rapidly devolving into incoherence?

 

[LouisBooth]

For an intelligent self aware moral entity to enslave another self aware moral entity is an evil.

So why the concern for dogs abuse then? Where do you justify the ceasing of Moral entities? Humans or a specific species?

 

[LouisBooth]

You really don't know how discussions work do you?

 

[TLK Valentine]

He was talking about nature; you tried to make it about him. I'm not the one who's confused here.

 

[Mobezom]

For an intelligent being to enslave an intelligent being is evil.

This does not exclude the following:

For an intelligent being to abuse an unintelligent being is evil.

 

[Larniavc]

In your opinion, did Darwin approve of slavery?

And I'll say this ahead of time for those of you who think unilaterally:

Just don't assume I'm talking about Homos.

Hint: Polyergus rufescens.

Possibly.

Where did "dogs abuse" come in and just what sort of abuse are you referring to?

 

[AV1611VET]

Nature isn't my God. Nature just... is. I don't worship it, and I don't follow its commandments.

Do you fear her?

 

[AV1611VET]

What an outrageously prejudiced thing to.......

oh, see what you mean.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Larnievc!

 

[Subduction Zone]

Do you fear her?

Unneeded personification aside, I for one respect nature. But then I respected guns whenever I handled them loaded or "not". Anything that can kill you if you make a mistake should be given some respect. If you could show that your God existed we would respect him too. We might not worship him, since worship should be earned, but God that could kill someone would merit respect. But since there is no more evidence for your God than there is for Allah or Zeus I hope that you don't mind if the respect is not there on our part yet.
