I am not seeing the stretch. If my argument is without basis then how would you go about arguing with a morality? You tell me. I understand your point, that in its very nature its not something to be argued with because its not based on logic, however, morals are based off of a simple scale that pretty much just begins with not harming the innocent who have done you no wrong. And thats just a simple point of moral reference from which all others are spawned.
Somewhere from which point you can say, but who does this harm, what problems does this cause.
No, they aren't. What about hedonists? You're completely wrong.
How I view it is that when an institution other than society, WITHIN society as we know it, (because we cant be bigger than ourselves, so society is really just the ultimate beginning) supplies morals for others to follow, those aren't morals, they are rules, they are there for a reason, an ulterior motive.
So you own the definition of morals? I don't care what you think, tbh, so don't go into it. My point is you can't shoot down everyone here/
I don't believe that peoples beliefs coincide with that of the church specifically as much as they are brainwashed by them. I have an issue with organized religion, I don't believe something such as premarital sex is an issue of true morality in the sense that you are defining morality. I don't believe it hurts anyone, and I don't BELIEVE it serves a purpose to put marriage before sex, not a helpful one anyways. Its considered a morality by those of the institution, and by those affected by it indirectly, but by your definition what is a moral? If you can't argue with them they aren't really anything, murdering an innocent person would be no more different than saying certain words certain people dislike.
A moral is whatever you call it. Which is why yours and everyone else's here are valid.
No, I don't think its a paradox, I knew you would. More like I didn't explain that point well enough if you still think its a paradox.
Yeah, you didn't. You seem to be doing some double think anyway.
The point is, if morality is simply something based on the heart then why wrap an institution about it?
Why not?
Its not illogical in such a complete sense that it gets a free pass to justify anything based on your own morality.
Uhhh... yeah it is. Or are you going to magiacally create some line where morals become irrational?
The church giving a list of rules is no different than one person justifying certain actions and not others and demanding everyone follow them. You cant have it both ways.
You're right, it's not. And yes, I can.
I simply don't believe in the morality the church is supplying, they are just rules of another sub culture, and for the fair benefit of those who don't believe in them, they shouldn't be treated as though they are higher rules then those humanity devises to govern itself.
fantastic. idc. Let's stop going into your beliefs.
It seems pointless to me, we as humanity have our moral system we generally agree on and try to follow, we cannot CREATE morals, neither can the church. We are beneath such a thing. We can only argue which morals we BELIEVE fit into our society, that we have created and can therefor make that argument. Saying we can't logically argue which morals or rules or ethics or whatever you want to call them, do and do not fit into that society because arguing such things is illogical, while true to some extent, gets us absolutely nowhere. And to be frank its no more an original thought than anything else, we might as well just make a topic called your morals vs my morals, and continuously reply with a giant chain quote going. "NO U, NO, NO U! NO U!"
Which is what we are doing anyways.
Your didactic aside, you still cannot explain to me why it's not okay for Psychodrama and the others like her to feel as they do. You went off on some tangent about the Church and morals, and I've kept my remarks at a few pointed sentences. I don't care about your morals. I'm not saying "NO U." I'm not even talking about your morals.
But I'm done, I know what I'm talking about, so idgaf.

What about hedonists? A hedonist isn't automatically someone who causes any pain to anyone, its just someone devoted to pursuits of pleasure, depends on your view of a hedonist.

This is why you're a fucking hypocrite, where did I say I own the definition of morals, I was expressing an opinion, but you would rather fall back on the same bullshit then offer another, you think I care what you think? Ill go into whatever the fuck I want to, grow up dude. You are the one shooting ME down, and you are the one telling me not to shoot ANYONE down. If I fucking disagree with something or someone and you want to baww and whine about your butthurt about it thats your fucking problem, I'm not doing anything you aren't doing.

Well then the only reason you are persisting in this asinine argument is to be a troll, so I should probably just quit fuckin feeding you.

No, why, if you can say why not then you wouldn't bitch when I say why, its the same fucking thing, because its fucking brainwashing. Not people forming individual opinions, they can believe whatever they fucking want but I can still believe its bullshit, if all you can do is sit there and swallow your own fucking stoner, everything is nothing talk when I use it against you then just shut the fuck up dude.

Ok then you are fine with a society that justifies anything for any reason. You are the one arguing morals are irrational and illogical and follow no guidelines, and can't be manipulated to, except for those you choose to defend as exceptions in your little world.
The church giving a list of rules is no different than one person justifying certain actions and not others and demanding everyone follow them. You cant have it both ways.

No, better idea, this is a forum, so even though you are sitting there spamming your ideas, while simultaneously telling me I'm hindering others and yet can't have any myself, how about you fuck off. Ill go into whatever I want, like I said. You don't want to listen? Good, don't wasn't talking to you to begin with.

What fucking tangent, you are the one on a tangent here, you have kept your remarks at a few POINTLESS sentences and like it or not all this argument is now is no u back and forth, you're right you aren't talking about my morals, you are spewing some asinine fucking philosophy that is completely pointless to ANY discussion EVER. You think I give a rats ass about your morals? It could have been assumed at this point that I don't, so why mention it.
I'm seriously fucking bored with feeding you dude, you are one seriously fucking pathetic troll whatever convoluted "point" or pithy fucking remark you have left just message it to me, I am not going to keep bumping this shitty thread anymore by feeding you.

That was the most convuluted bullshit I've ever read here, and I'm not even kidding. I spent like 2 years discussing shit in WA&P and Religion before I left this site, and I honestly have never encountered so much circumvention. I never even said half the shit you talked about.
You think I give a rats ass about your morals? It could have been assumed at this point that I don't, so why mention it.
My morals? I never even mentioned them. You've said that twice and I never mentioned them.
I have the same attitude toward the rest of your post.

There's many reasons not to do it. For one, I would not sleep with someone I'm not in a relationship with. I don't care if someone is hot or not. I just prefer not to have sex with random people so I can get STD's or pregnant. Hell to the no! Plus, my parents are really strick and won't let me date. ; /

Yeah, they would be equally at fault if they didn't use protection, but I was thinking about the mishaps that can occur when I wrote that. You know, like a condom slipping off.
Sounds like you've had bad experiences with girls if you can get so worked up over something like that. You know what? I feel for you. E-hug!

No, I just understand that sometimes you have to agree to disagree, that first thing you quoted wasn't directed at you.
Its just as fine for me being so annoyed with how you feel that I feel I want to knock you upside the head for it, obviously I would never actually do that, because that WOULD be preventing you from expressing your opinion.
He was drying to dredge up an argument that would have basically ended with every discussion everywhere that involved differing opinions being pointless.

They are both equally responsible if the condom slips off too, its still their responsibility, its just an accident.

I just like swearing in posts, but yours did annoy the shit out of me because I hate the double standards implied, and I hate the state of the court system as it pertains to marriage/divorce/paternity issues because the woman pretty much gets away with everything.
Never been married and I obviously don't have kids, I just hear the same shit too often and it drives me nuts.
I haven't had the best experiences with women but I am happy where I'm at, you won't ever hear me arguing one should be superior to the other, just things I don't think are equal.

Yes, this entirely ad hominem.
You consistently failed to offer any satisfactory counter-argument and instead brought up this big straw man of institutionalized morality.
If I said it, quote it.  jackass.

Yeah. Arguing over things that are legitimately based upon opinion IS pointless. Very few things are completely matters of opinion. Ethics is one of them.
That was my thesis, which you managed to completely avoid.
BTW, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but you pretty much lashed out in the first posts leading me to think you aren't really "okay" with differences in opinion.

I have no problem with differences in opinion, I just don't want to argue back and forth about what constitutes an argument that is worth having, since that itself is just an opinion, we could go back and forth forever and it would just be one off topic ramble, I didn't avoid your "thesis" at all, Its just a pointless discussion ABOUT what is and is not a pointless discussion.
Might as well end it agreeing to disagree.
Your entire point is a bullshit pseudo stoner argument that is not fucking worth my time, id rather stick to the topic the thread was created over, you are the one wandering into completely vague points.
