[QUOTE="quatona, post: 68293219, member: 111204"] It wasn´t meant to be an analogy, as I have already told you. It was meant for you to clarify what the principles are by which you judge something "morally acceptable", for two purposes: 1. To make sure you have such principles - instead of inventing criteria spontaneously for each issue. 2. To show you, that yourself go about deciding what´s "morally acceptable" by ruling out that it´s "morally wrong". Which would demonstrate that shifting the obligation for substantiating the claim "X is immoral" by demanding evidence for something being "morally acceptable" is just desperate. See? You go about showing why you find something "morally acceptable" by ruling out that it´s "morally wrong". So the parsimonous way is: Show how something is "immoral" - not show how something is "morally acceptable". I guess if nothing ground-breaking happens here I will leave this thread. As I have pointed out right from the start, you aren´t able to substantiate your point without referring to your religious convictions and/or your subjective opinion (even though you euphemistically call it "intuitive reasoning"). This isn´t anywhere close to showing that it is "objective". Instead you have spent pages upon pages trying to tackle my position (even though not even knowing it) as being equally subjective as yours. Which, of course, would be no problem at all - since I am a professing subjectivist and am not claiming my views to be "objective". So this "tu quoque" approach doesn´t help you with showing inconsistency on my part. You keep using your preferred method of contraception, I keep using mine. You keep judging other persons´ preferences "morally inacceptable", and I keep abstaining from making such judgements. [/QUOTE]
