"Believed that they should" is not necessarily the same as "affronted if they don't".
There are, for example, a number of people who would not get an abortion, but believe in the right of others to doso.
- Chris2048 10y agoBut does it matter in that context? Does/should a belief be weighted higher if it causes "offense" - this would mean the easily offended would have their beliefs weighed higher, and thus people would be encouraged to be so.
- rincebrain 10y agoI don't think a belief should be necessarily weighted higher because it causes offense (or not), no. I was trying to indicate the difference between "I would never" and "no one should ever" - the former being a belief that attempts to say nothing about what other people should or should not do, where the latter certainly says something about what everyone should do.
- Chris2048 10y agoDoesn't the former lack the moral principle of universalism?
