Originally posted by FetchmyjunkNo, I think the premeditated murder of 6,000,000 people was wrong and, unlike you, I also believe it was far more "evil" thing than getting angry with a sibling. If someone wanted to repeat the Holocaust I would be morally opposed to it and would probably be willing (if able) to kill people in order to stop them carrying out.
Ok so if the atrocities of the holocaust are not universally wrong, you believe that in some situations they may be justified. Understood.
I don't need your Bible to help me perceive the genocide of the Jews in the C20th was morally wrong; indeed, I have clashed several times with sonship on this forum who sought to justify at least one genocide perpetrated by the ancient Hebrews which the "holy" scriptures you subscribe to would have us believe your god figure ordered.

I have already told you what I think the sources of my moral sensibilities are. And I wrote two or three long posts laying out what it means to be a moral being and how one arrives at making moral decisions. You simply ignored them

Originally posted by FetchmyjunkWhat situations? Give me some examples and we can test the consistency of my mortal thinking and decisions.

Originally posted by FetchmyjunkWell if you and I do immoral acts "tomorrow", then ~ yeah ~ we will have done immoral acts. That much is true.
But since you don't claim to believe in universal truth, your views on morality are not cast in stone anyway. So today an act can be immoral and tomorrow the exact same act can be moral.
Originally posted by FMFIf your stances are not absolute it follows logically that they can change.
