Morality is real as well as objective truth.

Can you define "morality" so I know what you mean?

Google it.

@@vanguardian2864 "Google it."....When I Googled "How Does Vanguardian define morality", the top result stated: "Google can not read Vanguardians mind to know how they define any word.", though further down the results I came across: "The definition they use does not work for all applications and therefore must be flawed."...So there you have it...Google either can not read your mind, or thinks your definition must be flawed....sorry... So, can you provide the definition in order for us to see it, or is it super secret and we first must believe in the bible before the definition of morality can be revealed to us... ;) I mean if you can not define the words you use then you literally don't know what you're talking about...LITERALLY...lol..You just become a joke at that point....so thanks for the laugh...

As organized religion instilling core values slowly fades away, objective morality has become more and more arbitrary as time goes on and it makes me realize how truly insane this world is and always was…

@vanguardian2864 Жыл бұрын

As the world gets crazier, objective morality becomes more relevant. It doesn’t go aware just because life becomes so luxurious and privileged to the point that we forget we have problems

@@vanguardian2864 Can you elaborate? how does privilege and luxury aid to negate morality? I’m more worried about individualistic patterns emerging and what that implies for the long term.

A long winded and pompous way of confirming that yeah morals are real, abstract concepts that describe codes of conduct which may differ depending on the culture. Ofcourse there's no human society that won't intuitively recognise unprovoked killing as a moral wrongdoing. As I see it all this is an extension of the discussion around cultural relativism and platonic ideals. ... talking of long winded huh

@vanguardian2864 Жыл бұрын

Pompous and long-winded indeed. Hate to break it to you, but there are reasons why some cultures thrive and others don’t. Equality is an allusion. Sorry if that hurts your dysfunctional postmodern “sensibilities,” but it’s true.

@@vDev00 I can appreciate that you are not claiming a religion to be true, but that does not help me understand your position. Do you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and all true, or just part of it, as not all people who believe the Bible is true consider their belief to be part of a "religion"?. I do not know what position you are taking, as your above statement is confusing. Can you clarify your point so that I can either agree with you or question your reasoning?
