Agree.
This can be confirmed from a detailed analysis the constitutional holy text of the religion.

What would make his moral Philosophy deontological or not? For me, not a master in Deontology, there should be a good portion of just follow the book of instructions to make antyhing strictly deontological(from my wikipedish knowledge of it). I this video, as it is presented there seem to be someth...

Bollocks. You don't understand the how a deductive argument works. I recommend a logic 101 course or simple text. Here's your invalid and unsound argument. P1 X is a moral issue. P2 To reduce the incidence of X is to resolve this moral issue. C Therefore, in the case of X, morality is objective. Th...

1. The killing of humans [especially impulsively and arbitrary] is a moral issue. No. it's not - unless we assume (in this case) moral wrongness. So this premise begs the question. How could you deny this simple fact? I don't agree with the point that morality is critically related to right or wron...

Once again are are confusing material facts with conceptual and emotional facts. Morals cannot be reduced to calories. You missed my point. No I did not. Stop gaslighting and read what people are telling you. You are confused. As usual that is your typical escape route when running out of argument....

This is one of the silliest conflation of terms and equivocation I have come across Today we learned that there is an inherent oughtness in rocks to do what nature tells them to do, which is sit around just existing. This oughtness to exist is an inherent moral fact apparently. I have argued; There ...

Here's the justification once again. ('The universe' is synonymous with 'reality'.) 1 The universe existed before there were humans, would have existed had there been no humans, and will exist when humans have gone. So the universe was not, is not, and will not be dependent on humans. 2 Human knowl...

Jens Timmermann https://www.jstor.org/stable/44122587 Abstract The way we use terminology matters. There are words, ordinary and philosophical, that we should do without because they a...

Arguments against moral objectivism 3 The subjectivity of goals That a goal for our actions is morally right or good is a matter of opinion, which is subjective. Our choice of goal – such as well-being, happiness, pleasure, fulfilment, or pleasing my team’s god - is a matter of opinion, which is su...

How to be suckered by Kant To say there is no such thing as a thing-in-itself (Kant's noumenon ) is to fantasise that there could be such a thing, but that it happens not to exist - and then to castigate philosophical realists for claiming that it does. This is the fashionable straw windmill tilted...

P1 is false. The universe does not depend on a human framework and system of evolved/emergent reality and cognition. Cutting the crap: the universe does not depend on humans. It existed for billions of years before humans evolved. It would have existed had there been no humans. And when we're gone,...

P1 What is a real universe is contingent upon a human-based FSERC. P2 Since it is contingent, a real universe cannot be absolutely independent of the human conditions. C Therefore, if there were no humans, then there would be no [absolute independent] universe. P1 is false. The universe does not de...
