Hey Sklansky
 

First,I understand that this is your forum, and you can post whatever you want.

Getting past that though, you keep posting questions that have no objective answer. The only non-objective reasonable answer is to think correct whatever the majority of people think. I'm talking about the dog post, and the necro post,etc.And, I just don't like dogs and corpses,so there. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Not Ready has explained that all questions of this type are non objective if there is no God. (Unfortunately even if there is God, he is not yet a registered user on this site, so we can't be sure how he feels about one necrophilia to save 100 lives as I don't think the bible addresses that.)

What is objective however is that people's conclusions be consistent with there own reasons behind it. You can't say you voted for Clinton over Dole because you think the older someone is, the better president he will make. And when there are more steps of reasoning involved, many people do exactly that.

Re: Hey Sklansky
 

honestly David, you should never talk about consistency because yet again you have given an example of someone having inconsistent beliefs which are not in fact inconsistnet. The following premises are consistent, it should be clear why they are, but I'll tell you later if you need it to be explained.

1) Whoever the oldest candidate is, he will be a better president
2) Dole is older than clinton is
3) I will vote for clinton

I think that it's implied that he will vote for whoever he thinks will make the best president.

Re: Hey Sklansky
 

then that should be one of his premises.

This isn't completely accurate. I attack non-Biblical morality on the grounds that it is relative and therefore there is no possibility of establishing oughtness. The non-Biblical moral law may be objective but in the absence of God will always be relative. I may have spoken of subjectivity in some posts, but my intent is always to emphasize the fact that finite human rules can only be relative as distinguished from absolute.

Genuine moral obligation flows from the objective, absolute source, which is God. One summary of this obligation is "You shall be perfect because your heavenly Father is perfect". The requirement of God's law is very strict indeed.

Your math SAT had to be between 720 and 750. No one else thinks this way.
