If you claim that goodness is artificial/relative/subjective, then you are hilariously self-refuting yourself. :)

- leephillips 13y agoWell, you fooled me. I thought you were serious and might know what you were talking about.
- cscurmudgeon 13y ago>I thought you were serious and might know what you were talking about. Thanks for the kind mature words. You are no different from the Christian fundamentalists who accuse that the scientists (including logicians like me) don't know what they are talking about. Sigh. I was being respectful, but you showed your deficiency by attacking my intellect. Thanks for that. I can only point in the right direction. I cannot rectify a highly deficient education (ah, the US).
- Anderkent 13y agoThat's obviously a strawman. A relative morality doesn't claim that 'truth' is relative, it claims that the concepts of 'good' (morally acceptable) and 'bad' are relative. Thus when saying morality is relative it's not that we say that the factuality of "X is moral" depends on your setting, but that the statement makes no sense unless you specify what morality you mean, because "moral" just means "acceptable in a given morality system".
