Quote by: Logjam So, Starboy; are you making an excuse for people to be able to break the rules of morality? Seems like you are. Aren't you saying, "People should not be held to rules that are hard to conform with?" No body said that what's right and what's easy are the same. As a matter of fact the rules are sometimes very difficult to keep. But we must, if we want our society and our culture to thrive. |
I said nothing of the kind. What I said is that life doesn't present itself in a nice little package that can be boiled down into absolutes. To have such a view of life would require a vantage point on life that we just do not possess and arguing about absolutes makes as much sense as arguing how many angels can fit on the head of the pin.

Allowing people to break the rules just because they don't agree with them is a formula for cultural disaster.

I am not allowing anybody to break anything. What I am saying is that a person that lives any kind of life will most likely find themselves in a situation where they will break the rules; they will know that they are breaking the rules, they will do it on purpose because from their vantage point they are making the most moral choice. The idea that there is some absolute choice is just nonsense.
