And the Nazis?
If we can't do anything but that which is hard wired into our brain, nothing...nothing at all.
Really?

And the Nazis?or, what the society as a whole projects onto those actions.
If we can't do anything but that which is hard wired into our brain, nothing...nothing at all.What else might it be?
Really?In general, it is about the continuation of the species.
So you believe there are objective and quantifiable?Doesn't matter. It's objectively quantifiable and demonstrable, regardless of 'who'. The person who believes genocide is not harmful is as wrong as the person who thinks one is more than two, for the exact same reasons. This necessitates no appeal to 'consensus', unless you want to resort to the same brand of total subjectivity you like to accuse others of.
To the point - which you continue to dodge - nowhere in this process is it necessary or even remotely helpful to appeal to Yahweh and his purported moral commands, which again, you have no access to even if there is such thing.
This question:What is that?
Alright, you want to go down this road. Fine...
Suppose that you were among the Israelites when Yahweh commanded them to slaughter every man, woman, and child, as is recounted in the Bible. Would genocide still be a bad thing to engage in, or would it be "morally commendable" as you have stated in the past?
Looking forward to your evasions, which we all know are coming...
That's "the naturalistic view"? Quick... someone tell the naturalists that that's what they think.How does that comport to the naturalistic view that we only think and act as we are hard wired to do? We can't have free will if naturalism is true. At least that is what the majority of scientists claim.
Ummm... reading this very sentence has just changed your brain's wiring.If we can't do anything but that which is hard wired into our brain, nothing...nothing at all.
So we are talking about the Amorites? IF so, yes. If a group of people came up from behind me and my people while peacefully passing by and started killing the young, the old and the disabled and after seeing all the power of God during the plagues, I would most likely feel it was my moral duty to kill those that were trying to kill me and my children.This question:

Ok, how? According to the naturalistic view, my brain predestines me to think what I think about the sentence I just read. Correct?Ummm... reading this very sentence has just changed your brain's wiring.
Do you feel it was genocide when the US bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki?So you would take part in a genocide?
IF you would like another label I would be cooperative and use it. Materialistic? Physicalistic?That's "the naturalistic view"? Quick... someone tell the naturalists that that's what they think.
Is that not what the majority of scientists believe?That's "the naturalistic view"? Quick... someone tell the naturalists that that's what they think.
Oncedeceived is a she.Oncedecieved was asked a question that was totally irrelevant to the moral argument.
If he answers it he is doing something a defense of the moral argument does not require.
So if he does not answer, his reluctance to answer in no way reflects negatively on the moral argument.
Oncedeceived is a she.
He is just referring to me asking a question prior to answering the one given to me. That seems to bother people. Yet as you will notice, I asked a question and Arch didn't answer and just commented negatively to my term naturalistic.
I assume then that you have been at this for quite a long time like I have?It is quite awesome to have a sister in Christ arm in arm with me in the apologetics arena. Very refreshing.
Since 2006. The year I was born again.I assume then that you have been at this for quite a long time like I have?
And the angels rejoiced.Since 2006. The year I was born again.
Butting in where I wasn't invited!Do you feel it was genocide when the US bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
How is it terrorism exactly?Butting in where I wasn't invited!
I consider it terrorism. We weren't trying to wipe out all Japanese people, we were attacking civilians to scare them out of the war.
