Well I'm glad you/we are more enlightened than the hundred billion previous humans who all had complex moral reasoning facilities but failed spectacularly to use them. I guess Aristotle and Plato and Aquinas were just idiots who couldn't see the unambiguous, objectively correct moral standards that you know of intrinsically.
Edit: serves me right for phone posting; I have you muted on the desktop with an extension, seemingly for good reason
- malfist 5mo agoReally? Aquinas? A priest sworn to celibacy is supposed to be agreeing with you that adults having sex with 13 year old children is acceptable?
- eudamoniac 5mo agoYes. https://www.ccel.org/ccel/aquinas/summa.XP_Q58_A5.html https://www.ccel.org/ccel/aquinas/summa.XP_Q58_A5.html Twelve, actually. This was a completely normal opinion at the time, and also the law. You seem uninterested in engaging in any form of discussion, so that will be all from me.
- malfist 5mo agoThat says nothing about morality. Only legality.
