Mathematics used in ethics

It doesn't matter who said it, and it doesn't matter that it matters to you.

What matters is what BDP said in the OP.


"The "rebuttal" was that ethics is not just a simple question of numbers. My question to those who remain here is, why not?"

So far you have failed to explain "why not?"

Is it too complicated for you to produce a reason for your opinion that the deaths of two has greater ethical value than the death of one?

The only case you have is your bilious outbursts of malignant disdain for Christians here or anywhere that don't agree with your opinions.

You're projecting.

I was once rebutted, in this forum, for implying that the deaths of many mattered more than the deaths of few.

The "rebuttal" was that ethics is not just a simple question of numbers.

My question to those who remain here is, why not?

We all place value on things for a variety of reasons, the whys, and how much comes into play. With human life, if it is nothing but an advanced animal value evolved from someplace in ages past, more or less how useful that human life is or how much do I care about in the amount I give it. Human life made in the image of God would be one of the most sacred of all things there is on the planet.

If we are driving and along the road we see an accident where it appears there is a loss of life, we can feel that knowing something terrible just occurred and someone special is gone, even if we didn’t know them. I guess having more die in higher numbers is worse than a fewer, but regardless of the numbers, a single one is a considerable loss, and that might have been the point someone was trying to convey.

It seems you don't know what the word "projecting" means. It doesn't apply to my reaction to your 'conspiring to kill Jesus' comment.

You're a grammatical genius.
