Civics 101 Guidelines
Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!
Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

So what is this toxic masculinity thing anyhow?

Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Originally posted by JimL View PostYou seem to be under the odd understanding that morals, or rules, need have objective realities in and of themselves in order that they have any value. I gave you an example above of a law of which its being "good" can be objectively true, while as a law in and of itself it has no reality. Speed limits on highways are an objective "good" for human communities, but speed limits have no objective reality in their own right. Moral laws are no different, the objectivity concerning them is in whether they serve the best interests of the community. And like speed limits, though not objective realities in their own right, they are not divine laws, the "good" with respect to morals, have nothing to do with whether you subjectively agree with them or not.
Figures you would use a relative example to claim it objective.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostSome of the very people that supported slavery, i.e. the Southern Baptist Convention, believe in the existence of divinely revealed objective morality. And yet they no-longer support slavery, which is now considered to be immoral. So much for objective morality.
Here is a question for you: Why is slavery wrong? If it is just a societal thing then how can it be wrong?
