no it wasn't.you asked me an irrelevant question about respiration.so you don't understand the word if?I can argue that you are not sitting on a chair even if you think you are....
Morality is subjective ....
By definition, it is not.
and who made up the definition?
...
There are different words in different languages to describe things we experience in the course of living. The word "blue" does not make the sky blue. The word "time" did not 'invent' time just because the English language developed a word for it. If you suffered aphasia and forgot the word "mountain," would all mountains in the world suddenly vanish? Fish swim in the sea no matter what word in any language we use to describe it.
So once upon a time morals were called something else. That does not in any way mean that there is some moral absolute standard placed upon humans or inherent to human beings.
Do you breathe air?
Are you sitting in a chair?
No, I am not. Sitting in a chair is not an inescapable aspect of living as a sentient being in this plane of existence.
I told you I was not.
If you were I could argue that you were not ......
For the third time, I was not. Let it go.
You asked if I breathed air
It can be argued that I'm not and it is just my perception....
Yeah, yeah, I get that you are trying to be cute and cartesian. It is clumsy and amateurish, so I was magnanimously giving you a chance to let it go and save face. I guess you just can't help some people.
you missed the point of my question
MY question was entirely relevant.
....
Yes, it was. I was demonstrating to you just how pointless your amateur attempts at semantics were.
