No. Marx and Engles would have been horrified to have seen Stalin and Mao; how "communism" had been hijacked by a system of State Capitalism.

If I ever need reminding how confused and contradictory is the Bible then I remind myself of Job. Satan is the servant of God, or is he the evil falle...

Proving humans are greater beings than gods, which accords with Homer so well. Man being moral having everything to loose suffers in dignity, whilst t...

So God asks his servant Satan to play a trick on this poor bloke called Job to prove what how mighty and powerful is god. Nice! Not the sort of deity ...
March 17, 2018 at 23:12
Indeed it is. Which simply enough begs the question what would an objectively correct moral law look like? I keep asking this question but no one has ...

It is simply an historical fact that women for centuries have not been considered as men's equals. Such a position has been the moral standard until t...

Please state the "laws" of morality!
March 17, 2018 at 15:25
No it proves that women were not considered fully human.
March 17, 2018 at 15:24
It does not. You have it backwards. Exactly. Now you are getting it. Nature has no integers or equivalents. There are no straight lines, circles, geom...
March 17, 2018 at 15:17
I do. Millions of others do too. That's because morals are personally relative. 60 years ago it was legal to rape your wife. Morals are temporally, cu...

utter nonsense.

Only if you believe in the god delusion. No, why?
March 14, 2018 at 19:12
It is wise to establish a definition, stupid to assume that your definition is a perfect form that has existed since the dawn of time, absolute, objec...
March 13, 2018 at 18:11
The reason that this had to be declared was that morality does not definitively entail it. If morality had included this, the declaration would not be...

Circular, question begging rubbish.

Depends on who is murdered. Actually - also depends on how the murders are described. Agatha Christi was quite a humourist at times.

I can't imagine what sort of mind The DD has. To think that whatever he thinks is true must be universally, objectively and absolutely true, is what I...

Shite that takes on the mantle of scientific respectability but pays no regard to the subjective interests in its findings, but most importantly just ...

These are all culturally relative, and very modern and Western oriented. Go back just 2400 years to Aristotle and none of those are true.
March 12, 2018 at 16:37
That is such a naive statement. Of course they have changed!!! Take a look at the Gortyn Law Code, which is a shopping list. Rape a slave and pay the ...

There's none so blind that cannot see. I suggest you continue to stick your fingers in your ears and bury your head in the sand. Alternatively could c...

Day One: All men are equal Day Two: Oops I mean women and children too. So what are the objective rules to morality then? What ever shit comes into yo...
March 11, 2018 at 23:39
No I do not want you to apologise. But this is a clear indication that morality is neither absolute or objective. You can't even agree with the moral ...

I wonder is that is true. Since we do not know how deep into our psychology reaches, it might be that the same brain activity which keeps a dog going ...

Please refer to the post I made above.

In other words you have no evidence. How convenient for you!!! LOL

Depends if he thought that doing this was generally okay. For example. Killing is generally okay if you are in a state of war; or a butcher killing an...

There are more than 2 genders. At least five I think.

Actually the Kinsey report places homosexuality at closer to 10%. Social pressure to suppress these feelings can reduce full expression to around 1-2%...

What makes you think this? There is nothing to say that the exact circumstances of the action are not important - far from it. The point about the CI ...

This is question begging nonsense. A MASSIVE error. You omitted children and women. Did you realise that it was international women's day this week? I...

How does it exist? It does not exist without the humans that generate it. It is not objective, but the constantly changing results of how we act with ...
March 10, 2018 at 22:44
The closest you can get to objective morality is the law. Most people generally comply with the law. However, as you will agree, there is such a thing...

yes we all start with wombs. But for most of us sexual differentiation takes place before birth.

There is a tribe in South America where all children are girls. In the early teens, when puberty strikes, around half of all children start to grow pe...

That's just rubbish. We all assess the goodness or badness of what we do, and that not only is measured against what is taken to be the norm, but the ...

Subjective.

This is not any kind of definition.

`The details are constructed in the social. But the fact that humans are moral beings is natural enough.
