We have an "objective" set of laws in this country ... and the right to be tried by a jury of our peers when the going gets tough. If those laws were objective, a computer could pass sentence, no? So, are these people ready to accept computer judges? (I think not.) And, yet they believe in a set of hard and fast, moral laws that are objective and interpret them as a computer does. Thanks Bri-Bri, I am certainly getting my monies worth!
That’s a good point, Steve. I’ve never thought of it that way. Just got into another comments war yesterday about this same topic. We let the religious get away with too much by not requiring them to tell us what’s “objective” about their morality, and asking them to provide examples of how one would get there... objectively. I used the case of gravity — which is about as objective a truth as I can think of. It’s demonstrable, repeatable, and works for everyone in every circumstance. When people claim to possess an “objective” morality, we have to ask them for a similar demonstration. If they can’t do that, then what exactly are they talking about?
Hi Bri - you mentioned "..in part 2 of this series…" then when on to review what you said in part 1 : ) This segment is part 2 :-)
Ha!!! What I actually said was, "In part two of this one-part series..." That's just tradition at this point. Been doing that for a long time now — just wanna make sure you guys are paying attention. 😏
I hope that guy doesn't live anywhere near a gravel pit. He evidently doesn't understand his holy Bronze Age scrapbook about "he who is without sin" and "casting the first stone."
