JSmith: “rights are what we as a society decide rights to be.”
You wish. Without absolute rights, your right to live is what I decide it should be.
Bang bang, shoot shoot.
Then I eat your liver.
Now, in a universe where absolute rights exist I may still kill you and eat your liver, but at least you would have a real moral basis to complain.
So acknowledge that fact, or shut the hell up.
P.S. now, if you really want to push your “no objective morality where humans really and truly are valuable in a transcendent way”, then don’t be surprised when people believe you, and act on that, kill you, and eat your liver. Without conscience. |

Mike, I really like your arguments. They are rational, logical and stay away from over the top rhetoric. You have convinced me. |
