I say a pray for them.I don't have roaches. I use roach proof. Mosquitoes don't bother me and I don't bother them.Objective truth is discovered through a conflict and confusion process. Error cannot stand, it eventually fails. But if you want to get to the answer faster, you must die to self and have no preference for an outcome. That's how you can figure out the right thing to do.You are confusing people rationalizing that they didn't do wrong with people don't agree on right and wrong. Two different things. But it is people believing that their actions are right that tells us there is something inside of them that they didn't put there that keeps them from abandoning the concept even when they do do wrong. They just argue that they didn't. Didn't I already go over that?
Man is the only animal capable of knowledge of good and evil. No other creature has this concept. Sure animals can have empathy, but not like man. Animals function on impulse and instinct. Man functions on these too, but in man's case he has the unique ability to override his impulses and instinct for the sake of good. That is free will.
Without deciding what is right and wrong, how can you rationalize what is right and wrong?
How do you know man is the only animal capable of knowledge of good and evil? That's another of these absurd things you say where you don't actually know.
Free will? Do we have free will.
Why do you do what you do? Because of the drugs in your body and the experience you've had which are based on the drugs in someone else's body.
If I was walking my dog and came upon you and attacked you for no reason at all, my dog would be tearing at your throat in the fight. My dog is an amazing animal. Smart and intelligent for a dog. He has no clue about the concept of good an evil. Animals operate on impulse and instinct. Their level of empathy is low. They have no concept of right and wrong. If you don't believe me, go and share a coke with a polar bear.
Everyone has free will. Free will is choice. Everything is choice.
The problem with your analogies is that they don't work very well with other similar analogies.
Go have a coke with a bear. The bear will tear you up.
How about you put a human with a cockroach, they go have a coke together. Will the human not try and kill the cockroach?
Or how about a mosquito?
From the mosquito or cockroach's point of view, humans have no empathy.
That polar bear is eating your spleen.
Any empathy for killing roaches? No? You just put poison down and kill them, without a thought to their life, their wellbeing, their family.
No empathy huh?
I killed a bunch of flies today too.
Am I bad person?
