I never used the terms murder or homicide. I said killing.
And you just admitted that society is the force behind what does and does not constitute moral behavior which is what I have been saying all along. Morals change as society changes therefore morals are relative
We have no absolute moral code regarding killing. It is different in different situations. It is changeable. An absolute code cannot be different in different situations by definition.
And a person can indeed objectively analyze his actions. In fact the only thing people can control is there reactions to external events.
You're lying, and you know you're lying. We're both conscious of the fact that my prior questions go directly to our awareness of the extant, universally objective standard of morality. You consciously pretend not to understand that human beings presuppose that standard as they extrapolate the proper outcome from the circumstances of any given situation.
The standard never changes!
Everyone
knows that it's evil to violate the life or liberty or property of another, as everyone
knows that they would not wish for another to violate their life or liberty or property. Even the apathetic ghouls of sociopathy know that a desperate state of fight or flee ensues on the heels of an injustice.
The only things that vary are the circumstances of the situation, and the only thing that sustains the precarious state of an injustice is overwhelming force.
We both know there's really no reason to go through your morally obtuse situational propositions as the outcomes relative to the standard are the same, and the only reason you consciously evade the attending concepts of the standard
—justice, injustice, right, wrong, good, evil, murder, theft, tyranny and the like
—is because you apprehend the futility of your argument and the obfuscations thereof.
Special treatment:
And you just admitted that society is the force behind what does and does not constitute moral behavior which is what I have been saying all along. Morals change as society changes therefore morals are relative.
Another lie. Once again, the distinction I made and you pretend not to understand:
I never said you denied the existence of societal norms and mores (laws), to which you're actually alluding in this instance.
You claimed that moral absolutes do not exist above the shifting norms and mores of human societies in history. That's a moral claim of ontological origin, and you ascribe the origin of morality itself to humans sans any justification anywhere in sight. —Ringtone
The universally objective standard of morality stands and stays! Chattel slavery, for example, is evil, the shifting norms and mores of any given society in history notwithstanding!
Further, the foundation of morality is logic, which ontologically and historically precedes the existence of mankind. Injustice ≠justice anymore than a tree = a dinosaur.
