Mass Psychosis - how entire populations become mentally ill.

[Woodznutz]

You've made no case. I made a case for subjective morality in the form of subjective laws and traditions. That isn't the same as objective morality existing in the real world. There's absolutely nothing objective about it.

I'm pretty sure saving another from drowning is a universal moral response that is not legislated by 'laws and traditions'.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

No, it is not.

You subjective opinion is not objective evidence.

 

[Mac-7]

I recognize Reagan, and Blondie, but who's the fat guy?

Probably what a corporate fat cat looks like to liberals

You have real world examples of that not being the case. Trans Atlantic slavers would push slaves over board, chained together, men, women and children, if they were sick, to protect the rest of their shipment.

 

[Woodznutz]

Those characteristic that aid mass psychosis like MAGA.

If Trump changed his message the "MAGA's" would leave him faster than ticks from a dead deer.

Immoral people aren't very good examples of morality.

 

[Curried Goats]

Immoral people aren't very good examples of morality.

They are a very good example of a lack of objective morality.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

That is a subjective opinion, Curried Goats.

 

[Curried Goats]

That is a subjective opinion, Curried Goats.

It is not. You can keep repeating that but I don't see you making a rational argument for objective morality's existence.

 

[Woodznutz]

They are a very good example of a lack of objective morality.

Maybe objective morality is subjective (or selective), but that doesn't make it less objective.

 

[Curried Goats]

We may be confusing subjective morality with selective morality.

No. Let me know when you have the courage to make a real argument rather than prefrencing it meekly with the word may. Objective means not influenced by personal opinion. There is no notion of morality that meets this description.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

I see you unable to reply to me directly in debate.

Of course, I can reply to you directly.

I would like to thank you for providing such a salient example of the very sort of mass psychosis in question.

Your inability to make a rational argument isn't evidence of anything other than that.

As a Christian I must disagree. Agape requires beneficent dutiful action when all else fails.

I don't care if you disagree as a Christian so long as you're not pretending to be arguing rationally.

Doesn't 'rational' have two opposing meanings, objective and subjective.

 

[sparky]

But i don't feel psychotic...... ~S~

 

[Zincwarrior]

They listen to Fox and AM radio.

Christ is the only rational Being in this crazy mixed up world

 

[Curried Goats]

No. It means based in accordance with reason and logic. Religion is the domain of faith, not reason and logic. If you had reason to believe in God then faith would be worthless.
