Humans can only imagine what Eternal Values are because in the universe there is no such thing, only the paradigms by which it operates. Values of ANY KIND don't mean a thing to it.
Eternal values are imagined, dreamt and speculated upon by ephemeral beings creating images of eternity in negation of their transience; in that sense it has meaning to the individual as incorporated and defined in Culture...which ONLY humans create.
Absolutely! You know anyone who creates eternal values? If so let the world know about it!Nick_A wrote:So if there are no eternal values it means we create our own values.
Nothing! As far as nature is concerned and the powers that be in the universe, of no concern whatsoever...no right, no wrong! Even culturally as practiced and backed by the super intelligent Greeks, progenitors of Western Civilization in art, science and philosophy, had no problems with it either as defended by Plato in The Republic to keep it healthy and in balance. To further accomplish that, the newborn of slaves were almost invariably left to die lest their numbers becomes too great.Nick_A wrote:What is wrong with a woman who has created her own value that some people especially babies lack value? How can you say she is wrong? She created her own reality that her baby lacks value so she killed it. Why not? What if anything is wrong with her reasoning?
How bloody ignorant does one have to be not to notice the blind stupidity in your constantly repeated demented mantras! You present yourself capable of nothing else presenting the same shit over & over again with no connection to arguments presented.
How ironic that it's modern secular intolerance which finds such practice "especially" reprehensible! Instead it allows any newborn with DNS or deformed in some way, not only to live but help it survive, at its expense, in case nature had "other" plans; and amazingly it's done without any reference to "eternal values". The Greeks would immediately have put it in a jar and left it to die as justified by their philosophy for the good of their society.
