How can atheists complain people are immoral when they believe that morals are relative? You have no basis to complain about rape, murder, persecution of whites, thievery, drunkeness, etc. All those things are relatively immoral to you but to others they are relatively very moral and should be promoted.

Trans people are moral if their morals are relative to it being good and you have ZERO basis to complain. There is no objective right or wrong therefore you can decide what is right and wrong. Child rape is only relatively wrong in your world view but to others it is good. How can you complain? Is this not what you want? You have absolute freedom to define what is right and wrong yet you complain when others exercise that ability? Hypocrites!

All have broken God's moral law of the 10 commandments and must pay the fine of death, but Christ came to legally acquit you by paying that fine on the Cross. Jesus will pay your fine and you will legally be allowed into heaven but only if you believe the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) with all your heart

The Gospel "Good News" is: Jesus died for your sins, as according to the scriptures; was buried and then rose on the third day as according to the scriptures.

Believe that with all your heart and you will be filled with the Holy Spirit.

The whole objective vs subjective morality is an ongoing debate in philosophy.. whether you decide on either is probably based on your perspective.

I like Daniel Dennett's evolution related ideas and some of Dr. Edward Dutton's musings. There are also some excellent back-and-forth paper arguments but I cannot remember which ones they are so you're on your own with that.

This is sci not pol or lit
But to answer your question morality is just a bunch of norms that regulate human behaviour to avoid conflict among members of a society.
There are universal moral values that have been practiced by all societies that ever existed and those that didn't practiced them ended up going exinct, things like rape, murder and theft (only between members of the same society though).
It is reasonable that some social norms that originated out of superstitious believes and that do not cause damage to other humans are eliminated.
In the case of transexualism, there is no damage being done to others, though things get complicated when we factor in the tendency to try to force or manipulate children to transition.
Anyway fuck off now

Why do you need it to be objective? Forming your own morality and complaining about others who do something you find immoral is the way the world has always worked. Sure, someone may disagree with you. So what? If you don't like child rape you should make sure the people around you have the same opinion and then throw the dissenter in jail. Let them complain about objectivity while they rot.

>> No.11694714

Because maybe the idea of objective morality is the premise for laws that would put the person in question in jail?

no its the other way around. There are normal intrinsically good people (atheists). And people who know how brain-fucked they are if religion didnt hold theme back, thats the same people who push for religion. (jews christs, muslimes all secret mass murderers)

That's the premise for people who don't want to take responsibility for their actions.

Unfortunately, something can only be judged moral or immoral by a biased observer, so it is inherently subjective. Even a moral command from God is just his opinion.

How can theists complain people are immoral when they can't make up which god or gods give them their morality. Just ask the Muslims, Jews, Hindus, tribal animists, etc who is god(s) and what he/she/it/they say is moral or immoral. Hell, even going by a single "religion" still leaves you in a land of confusion with all of the different denominations of just Christianity alone. OP may say his is the one true faith and his god is the only one...just like all of the fundamentalist theists of every other faith out there.

>> No.11694856

>>11694836
what? if you ask any jew they will say its from God/Yahweh, if you ask any Christian they will say God, I'm not so sure about Islam but I think they derive all their morals from the commands of Allah since its an Abrahamic religion. Theres no issue of deciding who gave them their morality.

>> No.11694857

>>11694327
Humans are agents and seek goals due to internal motivations.

From that fundamental point it is trivially easy to use logic to show that creating a social system that protects freedoms is what is most beneficial overall for a person, rather than unstructured war of all against all anarchy.

"but why not just rape and murder"

You're literally trying to make the proposal "I don't want to live in a world that is full of wanton violence and horror" come off as somehow unreasonable when virtually no one would ever dream of questioning it.

If you want to play autistic games with semantics feel free, I don't give a shit. I also don't mind if you think God dictates morality-He very well may, I'm agnostic. But don't pretend this is some profound insight you've had. It's a trite appeal to absurdity that reflects the views of no one.

Last I checked, Muslims and Jews didn't believe their one God is composed of three people. Not that it matters since the supposedly one god all three worships have a different set of holy books telling them to do different things.

From a practical standpoint it's very simple
No morality reverts the world to tribalism at best constant small scale wars population shrinks by several orders of magnitude etc...
And this is actually the only real reason morality does exist because it allows for building bigger more advanced civilizations as long as it can be enforced and so everything else you might think it's about is a result of it being enforced on you probably from day 1 of birth and thus you have been successfully indoctrinated into civilization

Different groups select for different sets of genes based on previous gene-environment interaction. Morality is just an innate feeling, selected for by your evolutionary environment.
e.g.
consider china, regularly hit by waves of famines for the last 4000 years. They have a very low disgust reflex hence they don't mind eating bugs/throwing dogs in woks alive.

Middle east have have very high rates of cousin marriage. In Europe however the catholic church advanced they nuclear family, pre-disposing later generations to finding near-kin marriages "yucky".

Longer life history strategies selected for in the west essentially selected for monogamy. For Indonesian tribespeoples/bushmen the bottom 40% of men never even breed, as the top males take most of the females. Euros think its "wrong" to have multiple partners (well most do), for tribesmen its a sign of failure if you only impregnate one woman.

It is no coincidence that things seen as moral are also good traits for being a parent. This links moral actions to reproducing in a quite natural way.
