Maybe it's a rare case where intersubjective consensus doesn't work. :D The once majority realist views, 1- the earth is flat 2- the Sun revolves the Earth were based on an evolutionary default, i.e. primal and primitive. Copernicus exposed the ignorance of those who believe in 2. Those primal and ...

Can a non-moral premise entail a moral conclusion? 1 Humans generate facts through frameworks and systems. (This is false.) 2 Any framework and system can generate facts. (This is false.) 3 A moral framework and system can generate facts. (This begs the question.) 4 A non-moral (eg scientific) fact...

Rubbish. They are full of white people that killed all the brown and black people. WTF is the matter with you? I hate Christian infiltration far more than the minor influx of Moslims most of whose second generation become part of secular society. The problam at the moment is Islamiphobia which tend...

By the way, morality is not "shared across all cultures and species". Some cultures practice polygamy, others monogamy. The ancient Greeks thought trading with non-Greeks was cowardly and contemned it. Some societies enslave other humans, others do not. Sharks, I'd suggest, don't have mor...

The sense of external_ness leading to the ideology of realism [philosophical] is fundamental to basic survival and had operated at its peak relative significance in the beginning of the evolution of the human species. It is still useful at present. The problem is the p-realists adopt this basic sens...

The fact is your realism view is a primal and primitive view driven by an evolutionary default, thus supported by the majority. It seems you are wrong on the grounds that too many people agree with you, Peter. :) Maybe it's a rare case where intersubjective consensus doesn't work. :D The once major...

Here is my argument on how to convert a non-moral premise to a moral premise via the common denominator of a Framework and System. Oh, well. You still don't understand that non-moral premises can't entail moral conclusions. And I can't explain it any more simply. All you manage is this: 'Any rationa...

Thanks. That's clear. And here's what's wrong with your argument. Again. 1 Your P1 is false. We can always set up our own moral lighthouse, deciding collectively that we'll try to act in accordance with certain moral values and codes. And, as an evolving social species, that's what we've done. And ...

The British Empire created USA, CANADA, NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA and many COMMONWEALTH countries that have citizens very happy with their freedom...

And, 'I' am telling 'you' that what 'you' interpret in the Koran, or absolutely anywhere else, could be a complete misrepresentation of what was actually meant. Quran 2:191-193. “Kill them [unbelievers] wherever you find them… And fight them until there is no more unbelief and worship is for Allah ...

K: and you seem to think that the bible is two, distinct and separate books, with different authors, different messages and no, NO, connection with each other... and you miss the really basic point that Jesus, of the NT is Jewish...of which the first book of the bible, the OT is the Jewish history....
