If I believe it IS wrong to kill my elderly parents, that’s not faith?
A life that is as unaware of guilt and innocence as a tadpole or a tree.
Um, how does that change the fact that it is guilty of no moral or legal guilt. Innocent. Omg.
You don’t think it’s perfectly logical to not want to kill your parents? That the feelings you have for them are not real and don’t matter? You need a sky fairy to tell you it’s wrong?
Another question dodged.
What?
So, is it faith to believe it IS morally evil to murder my elderly parents?
Maybe for you but not for everyone who believes that. I believe it is immoral but faith has nothing to do with it.
So if you don’t believe it is ok, you believe it morally wrong? Twisty turnsy
Oh goody. Now show me immoral under a microscope.
Show me innocence first.
Oh right, it’s just a personal preference that you don’t actually believe is objective reality. Intellectually, you understand it wouldn’t be evil in reality. You believe in something non-emperical that you can’t even put faith in. But you believe it! Talk about irrational.
It’s a word we use to describe the absence of guilt.
I don’t think you know what that word means.
And you can actually see it under a microscope as you look at a zygote?
You use that line too often.
I don’t see why faith is necessary. We know it is wrong to kill someone, because we have to share space with others, and don’t want to be killed ourselves. We are a social creature that follows social rules (many do at least). Those rules change over time, but murder has not been socially acceptable for a long time.
Which crime does a fetus commit?
What crime can it commit?
Not being killed means we don’t don’t want to be killed. Not that someone going ahead and doing it is wrong. Killing is as ubiquitous as living.
You don’t kill because you don’t want to be killed. That’s simply a personal risk assessment. Not that is objectively wrong for you to kill.
