Why don't you ask him what his personal, moral opinion of murder is? Then we would know for sure if he personally approves of murder or not.Skepdick wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2023 2:20 pmWhy do you doubt that?Harbal wrote: ↑Mon Jun 05, 2023 2:18 pm I doubt that Peter Holmes rejects the wrongness of murder, and I doubt that he is saying he does, but you know that, even though you stupidly pretend not to. The point is: anyone is free to reject (in the moral sense) the principle of murder being wrong. That's all it is; a moral principle, and a moral principle can only be measured against personal standards and values.
I doubt that you've made a sound argument in all the time you've been posting on this forum.He understands the definition of "soundness". A valid argument with true premises.
The argument is valid.
If he rejects the soundness of the argument then he is necessarily rejecting the premise.
And I doubt it because I have yet to see one from you, before you ask why I doubt it.
It is certainly legally wrong, if that's what you are arguing, but I took you to mean morally wrong, and moral rightness and wrongness is purely a matter of personal opinion in the context of personal values.The premise is "Murder is wrong"
