There are Moral Facts [Rape]

Post by Veritas Aequitas »

Here is one justification using 'rape' as an example, on why there are objective moral facts.

Note: Since rape is against a person's will it cannot be a matter of 'like'.
As such the dislike [abhorrence, detest] of rape is wrong and is universal.

Some people may like violent sex agreeing to be beaten, slashed or even eaten, but there is 'willingness' thus not rape as defined.

That rape was not illegal is not directly a moral issue but rather that is a legal issue.

Rape is wrong universally is a moral fact that is supported by the physical neural connections within a person's brain that tantamount to the person disliking rape.

The positive progressive trend of legal acts [in the World] against rape since 500 years till the present is evidence of the unfoldment of the moral fact 'rape is wrong' within the brains of all humans.
I believe at present there are all sovereign nations in the world has laws against 'rape' [as defined].
The unfortunate thing is, immutable Islam condoned rape which will stay eternally.

The objective moral fact that rape is wrong is one evidence objective Moral Fact within a Moral FSK [framework and system of knowledge].
